Kill the Jerk"The two biggest takeaways for me in this book were: "Intentional relationships don't just happen," and....sometimes... the "jerk" is me. This is a must read!"
- Shay Moore Jerks!
Jerks are everywhere, and most of them have access to a computer. Whether it's neighbors, family, coworkers, bosses, social media, or people we go to church with, all of us know someone who is a jerk. Typically, we try to confront or ignore jerks, but is there a better way? Kill the Jerk is for anyone looking to improve their relationships. Most people want healthy relationships, but few people are willing to do what it takes to have them. With humor, practical application, and a desire to honor God, Kill the Jerk offers a nonviolent way to have relationships that thrive. Even If You Were Perfect, Someone Would Crucify You "That is what is great about Rob - he is real, vulnerable, and up-front about anything and everything. He won't try to act high and mighty like some pastors and won't be afraid to admit his mistakes or sins." - Amazon review
One day after preaching a sermon, Rob Shepherd opened a letter filled with hurtful words about how awful his sermon was. Even if you preached the perfect sermon somebody would crucify it, Rob heard a still small voice say. That thought began the process of setting him free from being a people-pleaser.
With humor and great conviction Rob shares his story of learning to care less about what people say and more about what God says. Even If You Were Perfect Somebody Would Crucify You uncovers what our real struggle is when it comes to pleasing people. You can be set free from the fear of saying "no" to people, win the battle with avoiding confrontation, learn the power of confession, and find your true identity: in Jesus. You Misspelled Christian"If I submitted my life to Jesus for some grammatical feedback, I'm afraid he'd run out of red ink." - Jeff Mingee
Does the word "Christian" make you - or everyone around you - cringe?
How did the idea of what it means to be a Christian become so distorted in modern church culture that we've lost sight of its original purpose - to live as Jesus Christ did? Pastor Rob Shepherd takes a humorous, but poignant look at how the focus of Christianity has shifted to be more self-focused, rather than Jesus-focused, and takes readers back to the essentials of Christ's original message: to love God and love others! With practical lessons and relevant spiritual insights, Shepherd offers relief for those weary of the "Sunday morning march" and who want to experience a true renewal of the heart and soul, restoring the original definition of what it means to live as a follower of Christ.
