Book excerpt: Jesus said, "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to little children." Jesus (Yeshua in his native Aramaic) spoke out against public displays of piety, religious rituals, empty repetition of prayers, and publicizing charitable giving. He also spoke against calling anyone father or rabbi, and that his true enemies were the religious elites. Jesus also never said, "Go to church" or "Worship me," and he counted many women among his followers, and they were credited with funding his ministry. Yeshua Speaks: The Paleo-Christian Teachings of Jesus for Nonbelievers reveals these and other little-known facts about Jesus and his teachings. It also dispels many of the misunderstandings that turn people away from Christianity and keep them from reading the actual words of Jesus. It does not include the virgin birth, miracles, prophecies, or death and resurrection, just the essential spoken words of Jesus in the Gospels. This book is for atheists, agnostics, disenchanted or disillusioned Christians, or anyone from other faiths who knows nothing of the teachings of Jesus and has had no exposure to the basic teachings of Jesus other than what they may have heard from mainstream sources. The 207 sayings included in Yeshua Speaks are grouped in categories ranging from Anxiety to Wealth and include a section of 51 passages on what Jesus said about religion, religious leaders, and the outwardly religious. Yeshua Speaks presents the essential words of Jesus as his first-century audience would have heard them preached and shows that Jesus' message is more than just a collection of helpful sayings, but a spiritual manifesto just as revolutionary, and desperately needed, today as it was 2,000 years ago. Jesus primarily preached a vision of a God that loves and cares about you and wants you to have a better life, not a threatening message of condemnation and eternal damnation. "There is a God, so stop worrying and enjoy your life," is what lies at the heart of this book, and the core of Jesus' teachings. Stephen Snyder is an advocate for a spiritual revolution with a return to the basics of Christianity and a movement based primarily on the New Testament and principally the teachings in the four Gospels of Jesus. He is the author of seven nonfiction books.
