In contemporary culture, many people are driven by a desire to secure their own happiness. But Christians are called to abandon, not cherish, the ways of the world and reject, not pursue, the things that afford status, prestige, and pleasure.
In I Wish Jesus Hadn't Said That, Steve Timmis calls believers to consider ten sayings of Jesus that reveal where their affections lie in order to powerfully reorient their hearts. Among the well-known sayings and stories of Jesus that Timmis unpacks are "You cannot serve both God and money" and "Love your enemies". Though most people have read these words countless times, most have not engaged with them on a level that prompts action.
In this book, Timmis challenges true followers of Jesus to grapple with what it means to follow him, and accept his verdict on what constitutes the good life.
