Jefferson Bethke – författare

In Love That Lasts, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus > Religion Jefferson Bethke and his wife, Alyssa, expose the distorted views of love that permeate our culture and damage our hearts, minds, and souls.

Drawing from Jeff’s “prodigal son” personal history and from Alyssa’s “True Love Waits” experience, the Bethkes point to a third and better way. Blending personal storytelling with biblical teaching, they offer readers an inspiring, realistic vision of love, dating, marriage, and sex.

Young people today enter adulthood with expectations of blissful dating followed by a romantic, fulfilling marriage only to discover they’ve been duped. They learned about love and sexuality from social media, their friends, Disney fairy tales, pornography, or even their own rocky past, and they have no idea what healthy, lifelong love is supposed to be like. The results are often disastrous, with this generation becoming one of the most relationally sick, sexually addicted, and divorce ridden in history.

Looking to God’s design while drawing lessons from their own successes and failures, the Bethkes explode the fictions and falsehoods of our current moment. One by one, they peel back lies such as,

In a society where hustle is the expectation, busyness is the norm, and constant information is king, we''ve forgotten the fundamentals that make us human, anchor our lives, and provide meaning. Jefferson Bethke, New York Times bestselling author and popular YouTuber, has lived the hustle and knows we must stop doing and start becoming.

Our culture makes constant demands of us: Do more. Accomplish more. Buy more. Post more. Be more. In following these demands, we have indeed become more: More anxious. More tired. More hurt. More depressed. More frantic.

But it doesn''t have to be that way. To Hell with the Hustle is your wake-up call to slow down and reclaim your life in an overworked, overspent, and overconnected world.

If you''re feeling overwhelmed with the demands of work, family and community or if you''re tired of being anxious, lonely, and burned out, To Hell with the Hustle will give you the tools you need to:

Join Bethke as he discovers that the very things the world teaches us to avoid at all costs--silence, obscurity, solitude, and vulnerability--are the very things that can give us the meaning, the peace, and the richness we''re truly seeking.

Praise for To Hell with the Hustle:

"Ever feel like you need to work harder, put in more time to get ahead, or do everything in your power to be the best? That''s the hustle. It can push you to places you don’t want to go, and I''ve gone there more than I care to admit. In his latest book, To Hell with the Hustle, Jefferson Bethke will help you understand why the hustle can seem so alluring, show you how to avoid the traps it''s created in our culture, and find true joy chasing after Christ instead."

--Craig Groeschel, pastor of Life. Church and New York Times bestselling author

Join New York Times bestselling author Jefferson Bethke as he tears back the worn canvas of religion, lets an unsalvageable, phony frame of distractions fall away, and unfolds for the reader the breathtaking meaning and worth of the Christian faith.

We''re all searching for our greater purpose in life, but society pushes cheap, false narratives instead: your worth is measured by your success, winning brings happiness, put yourself first. But Bethke tells us that when we buy into those empty promises, we don''t realize that the picture of life we''ve been sold is incomplete. We were made for so much more.

A continuation of his bestseller It''s Not What You Think, Bethke invites us to find our true purpose by seeing Jesus in a new light, taking us on a journey from the creation of the universe in Genesis to the great feast of celebration in Revelation. Along the way, Bethke gives us the tools we need to:

Reexamining Christianity from the very beginning as revealed in the Bible, Bethke discovers a story far more beautiful, compelling, and fulfilling than we could ever imagine.

New York Times bestselling author Jefferson Bethke delivers a powerful critique of the Western notion of the nuclear family and calls us to a sweeping new paradigm that brings not only longed-for stability but also radical blessings to the world.

The West''s multi-century experiment with the nuclear family has failed. Its toxic hyper-individualism has left us with an unprecedented number of broken homes and rampant confusion over what a family is supposed to be. Jefferson Bethke delivers the solution we''ve been seeking: a plan for taking back our families from the modern myth that has derailed us and a vision for returning to the life-giving, biblical model of multi-generational teams.

In Take Back Your Family, Bethke uncovers the historic events that led to our obsession with the nuclear family, then exposes the devastating effects of our current "me culture." Now, writing from the visceral perspective of a father with three young children, he shares the values and strategies he and his family lean on in their quest to live as a community bonded by a shared mission, committed to mutually growing and thriving together. By returning to God''s original design for families on earth, he says, we can participate in the kingdom work that restores and fulfills our innermost desires for connection, contentment, and meaning.

So many young people enter adulthood with expectations of blissful dating followed by a romantic marriage but then discover they’ve been duped. Because they learned about love and sexuality from faulty sources—social media, their friends, Disney fairy tales, pornography, or even their own rocky past—they have no idea what healthy, lifelong love is supposed to be like. The results are often disastrous, with this generation becoming one of the most relationally sick, sexually addicted, and divorce ridden in history.

Discover the satisfaction of becoming the man God created you to be. In a world that’s grown increasingly confused about--and hostile toward--the very notion of masculinity, authors Jefferson Bethke and Jon Tyson send a powerful call to men everywhere: it''s time to step into the light of Jesus'' vision for you as a man.

There''s a shadow that''s settled over the hearts of men today. Masculinity is in crisis. Critiques about the dangers of toxic masculinity and the abuses of patriarchal systems have grown louder than ever. The very notions of masculinity and manhood are under attack. In response to cultural shifts, some have doubled down on old stereotypes in ways that just add to the conflict and confusion.

The result? Many men simply feel paralyzed--worried about saying the wrong thing, unsure what to do with their ambitions or strengths, simultaneously tempted and shamed by a hypersexualized and pornified culture. Our models and mentors have failed us. Based on their years of working in men''s ministry, Bethke and Tyson have good news for men looking for clarity and courage in this age of quiet desperation. In Fighting Shadows, they help men:

An entire generation of men is being told they should abdicate the responsibility and joy of living into God''s calling on their lives—don''t be one of them. If you''re a man who''s wondering what to do with your strength, your longings, and your gifts, it''s time to step out of the shadows. Jesus has a vision for you.
