What if Jesus words were never intended to fit into your existing lifestyle? What if they were meant to change everything? What if Jesus never wanted merely part of your life? What if He wants everything?
Instead of offering easy answers, these pages ask difficult questions, leading the reader on a journey with life-altering implications. If Jesus meant what He said, how might His words affect our relationships, investments, speech, perspectives, discipleship, spiritual disciplines, and every other aspect of life? What if the only balanced Christian life is all-out surrender to Jesus Christ?
Be careful. This journey could hijack your life.
Nate Bramsen was born in Senegal and has spent the majority of his life on the African Continent. While working with street children in the Middle East, he founded ROCK International (www.rockintl.org), an organization seeking to be the lap of Jesus (as demonstrated in Mark 9:36-37) for children trapped in situations of crisis. He now oversees international development projects while carrying out a global itinerant and media ministry. He is also the author of the book, PROSPER: Enjoying Intimacy With God.
"The most important thing this book does is.........It keeps you in scripture! I am thankful for the plethora of Christian books out there that are full of great ideas, but at times I need to stop reading them because they take me out of the Word. This book is the compilation of focusing on Scripture, highlighting the meaning, and igniting it through different forms of application!I am excited to deepen my relationship with Christ through my toughest upcoming trials. The author brought to life many verses that I have accepted a cultural meaning toward or have passed over due to the challenge against my daily life.'If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.' Matthew 16:24-This has more meaning than meets the eye.-Is Jesus worth following?-Then we need to ask What if Jesus meant what He Said?" — Timothy, https://www.amazon.com/What-If-Jesus-Meant-Said/dp/1593872860/
"I've grown up in a biblically solid church, so I'm tempted to think I know everything because I've read and heard everything there is to read and hear, as far as basic biblical principles go. However, this book challenged, convicted, and encouraged me in every chapter, in every area of my life. If you call yourself a Christian, or even just want to know what the Christian life is all about, read this book - not in place of the Bible, but as a secondary resource." — Anne, https://www.amazon.com/What-If-Jesus-Meant-Said
"This book will challenge you and cause you to rethink your walk with the Lord, which is much needed in these difficult days. I read it through once and now am going back through it more slowly, taking notes and evaluating if my relationship with the Lord is as Nate describes from the scriptures. I have not personally met Nate, but have followed his life as a missionary through newsletters, and also on Facebook. From what I have seen, this is a book written from his personal experience, with much honesty, and his love for the Lord is evident throughout. He asks the hard questions, and expects us to examine our hearts and see where we are in our journey with Christ.Our church recently sent a shipment of books to the local prison chapel library, and included a copy of Nate's book. I have since heard back that, of all the books that were sent, this is the most popular, and the men are asking for more copies! It is changing lives!" — Marsha, https://www.amazon.com/What-If-Jesus-Meant-Said
