Publisher's summary

Best-selling author John MacArthur gives readers a fresh look at how Jesus addressed attacks against the truth. Meek and mild. Politically correct. A great teacher. These are the popular depictions of Jesus. But they aren't the complete picture. Maybe because it's uncomfortable, or maybe because it's inconvenient, Christians and non-Christians alike are overlooking the fierceness of the Savior, His passionate mission to make the Gospel clear and bring people into the Kingdom of God. A mission that required he sometimes raise his voice and sometimes raise a whip.

In the much-needed message in The Jesus You Can't Ignore, renowned Bible teacher and best-selling author John MacArthur reintroduces the compelling and often unsettling passion of Jesus' ministry. MacArthur points to the picture of the real Jesus the world is so eager to gloss over. And he calls readers to emulate Jesus' commitment to further the kingdom by confronting lies and protecting the truth of God.

Great point that I never considered before.

Having grown up Roman Catholic before actually becoming a Christian in college, I have a special zeal for witnessing to Roman Catholics. I believe I am simply following scripture when I do not call a priest "Father so and so" and cannot tell you how many times I have been corrected by people who think I'm being disrespectful. You don't even want to get me started on the sacraments, praying to saints, Mary, or transubstantiation! I have also been known to debate the wandering Jehovah's Witness or Mormon that happens upon my front porch. I see now that Christ was far more confrontational than I have ever been and while I do not plan to immediately ramp up my game, I will not be afraid in the future of offending those who distort the truth and, knowingly or unknowingly, entrap others in the lies they believe. My one criticism of this book was that I thought it could have been condensed. It's already short, but it shouldn't have even taken that long to make the point.

Convicting, Inspiring, Encouraging and Worshipful

Johnny Mac’s reading puts all the emphasis on the right places and makes listening to this book very natural and captivating. I appreciated the chronological presentation of Jesus’s conflict with the leaders of the day and the “bookends” that were pointed out in Jesus’s ministry. Understanding and seeing Jesus in the light presented in this book is desperately needed today.
1) This is a shortened version of the full book but it retains the meat of each chapter.
2) A lot can be learned about the historical background of Jesus’s encounters with the religious leaders of the day.
3) This book doesn’t just offer greater “academic” head knowledge but increased faith in and awe of Jesus. I was moved to worship and praise God!
4) This will encourage us to be more bold, in a way that is loving according to God’s standards, and teach us to remember that true humility and love is determined by God and not man.
5) J. Mac teaches Truth matters, humility and love before God is to speak His truth boldly for His glory and for the good of those listening.
6) He teaches, like Jesus, we ought not be concerned if the truth will be received or rejected; our aim is to please the Lord and be faithful in carrying out our commission and living out of our identity in Christ.
7) If you are looking to know and understand Jesus better, if you want to know how to be more bold, if you want to understand the value of truth and how and why to fight for it, if you want to know if you should speak that thought you have been wanting to say to your leaders in your church or to others...then listen to this!

Why, oh why was this abridged?

A fantastic book with even better reminders that The best - no, the only - place to get to know Jesus is in the Bible!

Great book read by the author himself. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is looking to better understand Jesus' character and how he dealt with those who were against Him.

Accurate, clear, faithful and thorough.

What we need to understand a biblical Jesus! This is one way we participate in 2Co. 10:1-6!

Very Informative

What a wonderful teacher God has given us through John MacArthur.
I was raised in the false religion of name it and claim it, and the prosperity gospel. Both are false teachings by greedy men and women. If you truly want to learn what the war is, this is a good tool to add to your library. Jesus wasn't a hippie, or soft man. He is the God Man. We follow in His steps.
