We often think about heaven as a distant place we go after we die.What did Jesus and his first followers know about heaven that we get wrong?Heaven is often depicted as a celestial home for the dearly departed. But what if it's a real kingdom available to us right now? Through his exploration of the importance of the kingdom of heaven in Jesus's ministry, message, and parables, Skye Jethani helps us recapture what it means for God's kingdom to be present on earth."If your experience of Christianity has been impoverished or even, at times, miserable, this book will offer aid and a luminous, sturdy hope."--Tish Harrison Warren, Anglican priest; author of Liturgy of the Ordinary and Prayer in the Night"Skye has written a Christ-exalting, clear, and compelling vision of the new heavens and new earth. An important book."--Derwin L. Gray, cofounder, Transformation Church; author of God, Do You Hear Me?

Good things come to those who believe . . . right?People often say, "Prayer works." What does that mean? Getting the answers from God that we want so much?While God certainly cares for your deepest needs, Skye Jethani wants you to know that prayer is so much more than a two-way transaction with a heavenly vending machine. Jesus didn't pray like that. And with a pastor's heart, Skye wants to take you deeper into what Jesus had to say about talking with God.In What If Jesus Was Serious About Prayer?, you'll benefit not only from Skye's words of wisdom but his doodles that help the visual learner connect with spiritual truth. Prayer isn't about getting answers, but getting God. We need more prayer in our lives--not because God can give us what we crave, but because He offers himself to us in love.

If Jesus was serious... then why don't we take Him more seriously?Compare the teachings of Jesus to a quick survey of how Christians live and one thing becomes apparent: we often ignore much of what He teaches. Skye Jethani exposes this problem through a deep examination of Christ's largest section of ethical teaching: The Sermon on the Mount. In What if Jesus Was Serious? Skye illustrates how we explain away elements of this crucial sermon to stay comfortable and justify disobedience. Each brief reflection will challenge you to rethink assumptions and apply Jesus' teachings to today's cultural realities. If Christians begin taking Jesus seriously, we may find that the rest of the world will too.
