Sacrilege

Hugh Halter looks at the life of Jesus and helps readers rethink what it really means to imitate Christ.
Closely examine the life of Jesus, and something quickly becomes apparent: Jesus didn’t follow the rules. He didn’t live inside today’s careful parameters for good Christian living—instead his actions appear downright sacrilegious!

Halter’s wit and clarity make Sacrilege accessible for all those who want to understand what it truly means to be a follower of Christ. Whether you’re a lifelong church-goer or someone who has observed the Christian faith from afar, Sacrilege will radically challenge traditional paradigms about Christianity and invite readers to embrace the unorthodox life that Jesus lived.

Halter’s deep love for both the church and those who have become disillusioned with the church is apparent as he breaks down preconceived notions about Christianity and challenges them with the example and teachings of Jesus.
“Writing a book about Jesus is not something to do haphazardly,” Halter says. “While not much risk is involved in writing a poorly thought-out love song, you really don’t want to create some goofy image of Jesus to fit your own whims and preferences. That’s called idolatry and it doesn’t sit well with the real Jesus.”
Humor and storytelling drive Sacrilege as Halter shares about his seemingly unlikely call to ministry, conversations with others about Jesus and what he’s learned from those inside and outside the church. Halter shows readers how to truly understand the Gospel by addressing such topics as:

• Moving from a follower to disciple of Christ
• Loving sinners (even as they continue to sin!)
• Opening up our lives to true hospitality
• Understanding and incorporating true Sabbath living
