What if the Bible actually keeps us from hearing the Word of God?

For many Christians, the Bible is the only way to know anything about God. But according to that same Bible, everyone can know God directly through an actual relationship with Jesus. Jesus Unbound is an urgent call for the followers of Jesus to know Him intimately because the Gospel is not mere information about God, but a transformational experience with a Christ who is closer to us than our own heartbeat.

God called. He wants His Church back.

Many Christians have begun to recognize that God desires His church to function as an organism rather than an organization. After over 11 years of experience founding and facilitating a house church, author Keith Giles shares the insights he developed in the trenches. Filled with practical, real-world examples of how to plant and nurture an organic gathering, readers will find a wealth of information to help them bring Jesus back to the forefront of every meeting.

What if Christ has already returned?

The Second Coming of Christ has been "coming soon" ever since 1850, when John Nelson Darby popularized his brand of end times dispensational rapture theology. Many Christians today are unaware that the version of biblical prophecy they''ve been taught is not what the Church believed for the first 1,800 years. It''s time to leave behind the "End Times" and discover an astounding truth-Christ has already returned and our participation is essential to making all things new.

What if Jesus didn''t die to save us from God?

The doctrine of Penal Substitutionary Atonement is not the Gospel. It''s a theory that originated in the 1500s under John Calvin. The damage done by this teaching is still being felt today. It''s time to abandon this toxic theology in favor of a Christ-centered view of the cross that sets us free from sin and unveils a God of love who would rather die than live without us.
