Your Jesus Is Too American - Steve Bezner

"An invigorating look at the current state of the American church and what might be done to move it forward." — Publishers Weekly

Your Jesus Is Too American addresses the pressing discipleship crisis facing the American church today. Many Christians, instead of embodying the values of Jesus, find themselves pursuing cultural ideals such as power, wealth, and political influence.

In this compelling book, Baptist pastor Steve Bezner invites readers to rediscover what Jesus truly valued and to integrate those kingdom principles into the church’s mission. Drawing from over a decade of experience teaching in his church community, Bezner emphasizes the importance of humble service over worldly success, healing relationships across religious and ethnic lines, addressing injustices against marginalized groups, practicing generosity, and establishing a political witness rooted in the local church.

Bezner reveals that Jesus's vision of discipleship calls for a transformative way of living in the world, offering a fresh perspective for church leaders and congregants alike. This book is particularly relevant for those frustrated with churches that prioritize values misaligned with Jesus's teachings and concerned about the American church's credibility crisis. It features a foreword by Beth Moore, further enriching its insights.
