ChurchCentral Reviews Jesus Brand Spirituality
“I left the church because too many self described ‘Christians’ mainly wanted Jesus to do something for them. I thought that what Jesus had to say was more challenging than whether he was God, and if he was, he didn’t need me to tell him. So I left church to look for what Jesus was talking about. But this book makes me wonder whether, had Ken Wilson been my pastor, I might have stayed.”
—Carl Safina, author of Song for the Blue Ocean and Eye of the Albatross
“Ken Wilson is on a pilgrimage to dig down through the debris that both friend and foe have heaped on Jesus. Jesus Brand Spirituality is not for those with nice, neat, tidy faith. It is for searching and sincere truth pilgrims who are serious about discovering the ‘brand’ that goes with Jesus.”
—Bert Waggoner, President and National Director, Vineyard USA
“An intellectually engaging and personally delightful walk through authentic Christianity.”
—Dr. Joel C. Hunter, Senior Pastor, Northland Church, Orlando, Florida,
and author of Church Distributed
“Ken Wilson is passionate about Jesus. He’s been hanging around with Jesus for a long time and in the process uncovered a refreshing brand of spirituality he wants to share with other modern pilgrims. He gently but compellingly invites the pilgrim to take just one step at time on a fascinating personal journey into a transforming relationship with a loving God.
Ken offers encouragement along the way by honestly probing difficult questions about God, Jesus, the Bible, the church, ethics, science and the world, and by giving insightful perspectives and new nuances without being dogmatic or judgmental. In fact, he shares his personal struggles, doubts, failures, successes, and assurances – which is a real strength of the book. Urging people to try various spiritual disciplines, he shares his own experiences of prayer, of meditation, of reading Scripture and other ancient and modern texts as well as his encounters with nature, science and a variety of worldviews. He offers a unique combination of ancient and contemporary insights.
Ken is an active/contemplative, mystic/realist, pastor/companion on the way, eager to enrich your spiritual life and to enlist you in joining Jesus in repairing the world. Encountering this fresh and refreshing view of Jesus may just inspire you to be passionate about Jesus as well.”
