The Untamed
Welcome to the Untamed
What if there’s more to the Christian life than we think?
Jesus Christ was hardly the meek and mild figure depicted in children’s Bibles and stained glass windows. He was tough and courageous and controversial. When He said “Follow Me,” He called people to a life that was mostly difficult and often dangerous.
Today, the Christian life is popularly described as a blessed life proven by answered prayers and God’s good favor. It promises much and asks very little. Are we to believe the Way of Christ has become easy and safe? Or have we exchanged the real thing for a domesticated version of it; inconsequential to most and offensive to no one? The Untamed challenges conventional Christian thinking and takes Jesus at His word.
This book is for anyone who has been living a good Christian life, but knows in their gut there has to be more. It’s for anyone who doesn’t like everything Jesus said, but knows He was right. It’s for anyone who admits Jesus makes them nervous, but wants desperately to know Him anyway.
A note from the Introduction...
"The former image of God, which I can now admit resembled a genie in a lamp, evaporated in a puff of smoke. Once that smoke cleared, a new understanding of God was revealed to me. He is not subject to the desires of men. He will not conform to their impressions of who they want Him to be. He is not controllable or manageable. He owes no debt. He is not obligated to anyone but Himself. To put it as succinctly as I can: God does not exist for me, but I for Him.
With my domesticated faith lying in tatters, I found myself naked and alone in a spiritual wilderness. That’s where I found the real Jesus…or I should say He found me. "
