Designed to challenge, enlighten and inspire, they are                 also quoted in a wide variety of other ancient                 sources—including the Qur’an, writings by early                 Christian church fathers, and fragments of lost gospels only                 recently discovered. Some of these sayings are familiar; many                 are surprising; all expand our conventional understanding of                 the scope and essence of Jesus’s original teachings. \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eMore than a “Christian”                 compilation, this collection of more than three hundred sayings                 reveals a Jesus whose words encapsulate spiritual truths that                 resonate across religious boundaries. From the encouraging                 “I am hope for the hopeless,” to the wise and                 practical “Love those who hate you and you                 will not have an enemy,” to the candid “Give no                 opportunity to the evil one,” these pointed sayings not                 only reveal how Jesus was understood and portrayed across a                 wide variety of cultures long ago—they will also                 penetrate to your heart, challenge your assumptions, and                 energize your own spiritual quest. Now you can experience the                 wisdom and power of Jesus’s sayings even if you have no                 previous knowledge of these little-known texts. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turner Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47161577603312,"sku":"9781594733604","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781594733604_p0.jpg?v=1763809323","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781594733604","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
