If you're like me you've heard of the Bible, you've likely read some or all of it. If you are follower of Christ you probably have carried it around for years referring to it as "The Word of God". But wait a minute, in John it clearly states that the Word is a HE, not an IT, so the Word of God is Jesus not the Bible. Keith Giles does an outstanding job looking at our faith through the lens of Jesus and only Jesus. He is not against the Bible, in fact he starts off by saying how much he LOVES the Bible. The point being made is that Jesus should be how we interpret everything in life, including our Holy Bible. I have long believed the Bible to be a story about Jesus, from beginning to end. (In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God). From Genesis to Revelation, it's a tale about Jesus (the Alpha and Omega). If you haven't had the opportunity to read any of Giles works, I urge you to consider starting here. He writes with elegance and grace, yet challenges folks to think differently at the same time. His goal is not to shame you for being misled or misinformed, but we must be careful as followers of Christ to keep our focus solely on Him, and nothing else. When you allow yourself to take a step back from yourself and see the world through the Jesus lens, it challenges you and will likely change you. I know this book will be difficult for some, it was for me because it's taking a new look at something I've known about for almost my entire life. But it's a refreshing challenge, it's a place we all need to sit and think. Is the Word of God the Bible or Jesus Christ? Keith does a fantastic job at answering that question, and you may find yourself agreeing with what he's written more than you might think...if you allow yourself the open mind and heart you will need.

Keith Giles manages to undertake two enormous tasks in one book: challenging Biblical inherency/Bible worship and reintroducing his readers to a living, breathing, intimate Jesus, and he accomplishes both of these tasks spectacularly. Keith will have you looking at your Bible in a way you may have never thought to do so before, more honestly and in more detail than you may be used to, and you’ll be all the better for it. Meanwhile, Keith’s love for Jesus jumps off the page as he reveals, chapter by chapter, why we as Christians would be foolish to assume that the Bible is the be all end all when it comes to hearing, learning, understanding, and loving a real Jesus who is closer to us than our own breath and heartbeat. His admiration for our Prince of Peace and his clear understanding of Him based in 40 years of relationship with our Lord will inspire you too to put the Bible down, and let Jesus speak for himself within you and in the world, and people, around you. What more could you ask for?

While reading, I take notes as I may want to refer back to what I had read. I soon realized that it must be a good read as I was writing down each sentence! Jesus Unbound is a book you will appreciate with the turning of each page.
Sometimes we let doctrine judge others who are not of the same faith. It can hinder fellowship or worse hinder those searching for God.
Jesus Unbound will set you free to live and love just like Jesus. We can be like Jesus in the workplace, community and even church.
Order your copy through Amazon today. Through Jesus, people learned that the word of God was alive. Jesus walked with them. A book cannot walk or or talk or serve or share. He isn't a book to be worshiped but a living God who loves us and wants to encourage others to be like Him. When Jesus is unbound, freedom to love ultimately is a gift to be cherished.

The author, Keith GIles, has written yet another truly inspirational book, outlining clearly and concisely, an authoritative guide to what it takes to live a Jesus-centric, Spirit-led life, free from the shackles of what I would describe as organized "church-think". I have literally sensed the chains of denominationalism fall off as I once again returned to my first love. All of the angst I felt when I questioned myself and my former beliefs is gone, replaced with the notion that God loves me, not my doctrine. I feel free. This book should be required reading for all serious-minded Christians wanting an authentic relationship with Jesus.

Keith takes an important view of our relationship with Jesus and the Bible. I’ve learned to be careful responding to others with texts, writings, emails, etc. as the actual meaning may be misconstrued. However an actual discussion differences can be explained. Scripture clearly points to Christ. Now I know the direction, Keith has wonderfully shown we need to unbound Christ from the pages and follow Him directly.

"God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Bible"?

Everyone who calls themselves a Christian ought to read this! The trinity is not "God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Bible"! It's way better than that.

A much needed book in Christendom today.

I had the privilege of reading Jesus Unbound early, but my schedule has prevented me from writing a short review until now.Read more

This book has been so helpful to me in working out what I believe.

I can't recommend this book enough

Ben Larson

I can't recommend this book enough. Keith does an awesome job of steering us to faith in Jesus alone while pointing out how the Bible can often get in the way.

Positive challenging thought provoking
