Christ in Crisis: Why We Need to Reclaim Jesus - Hardcover

"The Quran says that Jesus is a wonder and a mercy to humankind. In this book Jim Wallis shows us just how much we need to return to those central Jesus qualities, and to embody them ourselves. It is a book that is both timely and timeless."--Eboo Patel, Author of Out of Many Faiths: Religious Diversity and the American Promise

"Jim Wallis gives us a book that could be titled Following Jesus Again for the First Time. With prophetic fire, he makes the case that our political and religious crises arise from a failure of following the Jesus of the New Testament. Read this book and go deep."--Diana Butler Bass, author of Grateful: The Subversive Practice of Giving Thanks

"For far too long, we've ceded the power and person of Jesus to political movements with no ambitions toward His radical love. Reclaiming Jesus is not only our responsibility, it is necessary now more than ever. This is a book for all God's people."--Brittany Packnett, co-founder of Campaign Zero

"Jim Wallis offers a challenging and focusing return to the deep Gospel wellspring of our faith that has served us in many troubled times and places across the centuries. As one who struggles daily to have my faith inform my service, I'm grateful for this timely work."--Senator Chris Coons

"Powerful. Profound. Prophetic. Jim Wallis has written a book that should shake the foundation of every Christian in the country, a call to be a true follower of Jesus in these dark times. Jesus is not the possession of those who have reconciled themselves to the world as it is."--Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor, Princeton University

"This is Jim Wallis at his best, a 'Jesus book' better than any I've seen in some time, and could not be more timely or more challenging. It offers a drink of fresh water to anyone who has felt despair at the state of the world--Christian and non-Christian alike."--Richard Rohr, author of The Universal Christ

"To choose to follow Jesus is necessarily to engage in a quarrel with the world. For fifty years, Jim Wallis has worked to help Americans remember the politics of Jesus. His Christ in Crisis is a timely reminder of what it means to confess, 'Jesus is Lord.'"--William J. Barber, II, President of Repairers of the Breach & co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival

"Hold this book in your hands like a moral compass. With mastery and clarity, Jim Wallis has crafted a handbook for our times--a way to interpret Jesus' life and wisdom for a nation in crisis, to inspire Christians and non-Christians alike in the labor of love and justice."--Valarie Kaur, Sikh activist and founder of the Revolutionary Love Project

"Jim Wallis is faithful, relentless, and intrepid in voicing the prophetic reality of Gospel faith. He does not flinch at truth-telling, and he is not weary of hope-telling. This book will provide energy, grit, and courage for the living of these days."--Walter Brueggemann, author of The Prophetic Imagination

"America yearns for an appropriate reintroduction to the person named Jesus. For years, Jesus has been hidden by shallow religion and dishonest commentary. Jim Wallis reclaims and reintroduces us to a radical spiritual figure even non-believers will find inspiring. "--Otis Moss III, Senior Pastor, Trinity United Church of Christ
