Product Description
Combining the lateral thinking of a postmodern wise-cracker with the creedal certainties of a conservative evangelical scholar, this book about 40 encounters with Jesus informs the contemporary obsession with how Jesus would behave ("What would Jesus do") while drawing readers back to the cross as the central message of our faith.
From the Back Cover
Its not exactly how one would expect God to occupy himself.
Lord of space and time, newly resurrected from the dead, and what is he doing? Sitting quietly by the lakeside, cooking up breakfast and waiting for the disciples to drop by.
The Gospels are full of odd quirks that most people never notice because the stories are so familiar. But Conrad Gempf notices. He uses his knowledge of Jesus' life and times to light up the meditations in this book.
The forty short encounters in this book focus on Jesus as a teacher, Jesus as a miracle worker, on Jesus' radical spirituality and on his death and resurrection. Seasoning its unique insights with humor, Mealtime Habits of the Messiah both satisfies the hungry soul and piques the readers appetite for prayer.
Gempfs well-balanced approach will put fuel in the tanks of all our journeys toward wholeness and purpose.
Rob Lacey, from the foreword
Conrads book is a delight. Its like its subject, Jesus: alive, fun, engaging, warm, and occasionally wonderfully dangerous.
Jeff Lucas
An Inspiring and startling portrait of Jesus which will nourish your spirit and feed your soul.
