Vintage Jesus Pre-Order Book Special
2 Comments
In February 2008 I am publishing my next book along with my friend Dr. Gerry Breshears. It will be titled Vintage Jesus: Timeless Answers to Timely Questions. I am really excited about this book since it is my first hard-bound book and is by far better than anything else I have published to date. Additionally, my friends at Crossway have been great to work with. This book is also the first in an entire line of books called Re:Lit (Resurgence Literature). To help get the books sales started, we've done two things for you and anyone else you can help me get the word out to.
One, we have created a new website where you will find more details about the book: http://www.vintagejesus.net/
Second, we have a special pre-release special going that you'll want to take advantage of. The first 1,000 people to pre-order Vintage Jesus via the link to Crossway will receive the following:
- a 35% discount
- a free PDF copy of the book via email months before the book is published for your reading and blogging
- a signed copy of the book by Dr. Breshears and me; we are flying to Chicago in January to spend a whole day with pen in hand
About the Book:
Roughly two thousand years ago, Jesus was born in a dumpy, rural, hick town, not unlike those today where guys change their own oil, think pro wrestling is real, find women who chew tobacco sexy, and eat a lot of Hot Pockets with their uncle-daddy. Jesus' mom was a poor, unwed teenage girl who was often mocked for claiming she conceived via the Holy Spirit. Most people thought she concocted the crazy story to cover the fact she was knocking boots with some guy in the backseat of a car at the prom. Jesus was adopted by a simple carpenter named Joseph and spent the first thirty years of his life in obscurity, swinging a hammer with his dad.
In Vintage Jesus, one of America's most influential young pastors teams up with a seasoned theologian to lead you on a hilarious theological journey chasing Jesus through Scripture and pop culture. The authors provide timeless answers to twelve timely questions about the most important man who has ever lived. Each chapter concludes with answers to common questions about each subject.
Contents
- Chapter 1 Is Jesus the Only God?
- Chapter 2 How Human Was Jesus?
- Chapter 3 How Did People Know Jesus Was Coming?
- Chapter 4 Why Did Jesus Come to Earth?
- Chapter 5 Why Did Jesus' Mom Need to Be a Virgin?
- Chapter 6 What Did Jesus Accomplish on the Cross?
- Chapter 7 Did Jesus Rise from Death?
- Chapter 8 Where Is Jesus Today?
- Chapter 9 Why Should We Worship Jesus?
- Chapter 10 What Makes Jesus Superior to Other Saviors?
- Chapter 11 What Difference Has Jesus Made in History?
- Chapter 12 What Will Jesus Do upon His Return?
These questions are answered with insights from people such as Jesus himself, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Luther King Jr., Hugh Hefner, Jack Bauer, Fidel Castro, Oprah, Kanye West, Gandhi, Homer Simpson, Mike Tyson, Gil Grissom, and Madonna, along with some demons and a porn star. There have been seventeen thousand books written about Jesus, but none is like Vintage Jesus.

Just ordered mine as well and look forward to reading it.
I've enjoyed "Radical..." and "Confessions...", and look forward to meeting you in Chicago. I'm from Chi-Town and will be attending the bootcamp should the Lord grant me life 'til then!
