I’m lucky to get the endorsement from Scot McKnight and Tony Jones for my book, “the (un)offensive gospel of Jesus.” I just hope the book lives up to the hype!
“Jeremy is a deep thinker; he’s courageous enough to challenge some popular evangelicals and emergents today. Yet, this is not a screed: Jeremy loves the Church and has a passion for the ostracized, like the homosexual community, and he tells us in this book that grace grinding is the not the way of Jesus and it is not the gospel Jesus preached.”

Professor, North Park University
Author, ‘The Jesus Creed’ and ‘The Blue Parakete’
“Jeremy Bouma, wise beyond his years, makes a compelling case that the gospel of Jesus Christ is (un)offensive in these pages. For the gospel is ultimately a testament of God’s love for the world as instantiated in Jesus of Nazareth. Jeremy reminds us of this simple but profound truth, and introduces us to some of his friends who make this truth come to life.”

Jeremy, I am so jealous! And proud of you at the same time. I am glad we “met”. I look forward to this book of yours, and the online book club you will have like Doug’s…. 🙂
you know I’m glad we met, too, Theresa! Your words have been a big encouragement to me as I’ve wrapped this up. You’re like my little cheerleader from the other side of the country 🙂
thanks again for your words…I hope my little effort gets people to think and simply points people to Jesus.
enjoy your weekend…wanna lead my book club???

What about the most noteworthy of endorsements: mine?! No need to tsk-tsk me…I’m only kidding. Congrats – sorry I’ve been in the abyss of no-‘net-dom for awhile and have missed plugging your book…I’m back online (at Norserud) now, though, and am plugging accordingly!
