Jesus Outside the Lines

A Way Forward for Those Who Are Tired of Taking Sides

By: Scott Sauls

Narrated by: Larry Wayne

Whether the issue of the day on Twitter, Facebook, or cable news is our sexuality, political divides, or the perceived conflict between faith and science, today's media pushes each one of us into a frustrating clash between two opposing sides. Polarizing, us-against-them discussions divide us and distract us from thinking clearly and communicating lovingly with others.

Scott Sauls, like many of us, is weary of the bickering and is seeking a way of truth and beauty through the conflicts. Jesus Outside the Lines presents Jesus as this way. Sauls shows us how the words and actions of Jesus reveal a response that does not perpetuate the destructive fray. Jesus offers us a way forward - away from harshness, caricatures, and stereotypes.

So Pertinent Today

I almost passed on this one even though it was included with membership. I'm so glad I took a chance, and all I can say is "amen" to all of it. As a practicing Catholic grandma, I say, hats off to Scott Sauls.

Amazing book, a must read!

We need to learn and re learn how to treat each other better, not only because it is nice but because that is the way of a true follower of Jesus.
This book is an amazing book of hope for those who wants to look at the world around us thru the eyes of Jesus.

Great author

Feels good to know contents in the book. We need to know that we can help others.

Excellent Book!

This book is a mist read for every brother and sister in Christ! The comparisons and metaphors used are spot-on. This truly blessed me!

instrumental book

very instrumental book in the way we think and reason. this book is a gift to anyone who reads it.

It breaks it down into understandable chunks

I like the strait forward advice Scott Sauls gives in this book. He doesn’t talk down to you, just too you.

A great read for all Christians

Pastor Wayne provided some very thought-provoking ideas and insights into common things that Christians need to think about. Loved how it points back to real Christianity and not just religion. Christianity is a lifestyle and mindset.

Thought provoking and wise counsel

Scott's somewhat unconventional approach inspired me to think differently, more creatively, and more freely about my behavior as a Christian. I particularly appreciate the reminder to be open to learning something of value even from those I generally disagree with.

Masterclass on dealing with a complex culture

a great read, a needed book in today's militant culture and politicization of the Christian faith, focusing our attention on Jesus king, Savior and friend to sinners, the heartbroken, the poor and the world.

Reminder of the gospel

Good reminder of the gospel and reflecting Christ in a culture of outrage. Worth a listen.
