description: The award-winning author of Grateful goes beyond the culture wars to offer a refreshing take on the comprehensive multi-faceted nature of Jesus keeping his teachings relevant and alive in our daily lives. How can you still be a Christian? This is the most common question Diana Butler Bass is asked today. It is a question that many believers ponder as they wrestle with disappointment and disillusionment in their church and its leadership. But while many Christians have left their churches they cannot leave their faith behind. In Freeing Jesus Bass challenges the idea that Jesus can only be understood in static one-dimensional ways and asks us to instead consider a life where Jesus grows with us and helps us through lifes challenges in several as Friend Teacher Savior Lord Way and Presence. Freeing Jesus is an invitation to leave the religious wars behind and rediscover Jesus in all his many manifestations to experience Jesus beyond the narrow confines we have built around him. It renews our hope in faith and worship at a time when we need it most.
