Description:
Junk Drawer Jesus is for those worn out by their religious experience and frustrated by their growing collection of burdensome traditions, conflicting "truths," and unfulfilled promises. If you are spiritually exhausted, you're invited to examine your religious clutter and compare it to the person and promises of Jesus Christ. In the process you'll discover what, if anything, of your spiritual collection is worth keeping. And you'll be reintroduced to the soul-satisfying simplicity of a God who refuses to fill your life with junk, but instead offers grace upon grace.
Review Quotes:
"I know a book is a keeper when the author comes alongside me to point to our shared weaknesses, our silly and self-chosen religious masquerades, and to usher me, with wit and humor and truth, into a life where Jesus is the all-in-all. Matt pulled open my own junk drawer and pointed out all the useless stuff that clutters my soul and centers me on me, then pointed, over and over, to Jesus and his finished work of salvation as God's gift. Not only was the book a sheer joy to read; it centered me on who and what truly matters. By the last page, I loved Jesus more and knew, with profound gratitude, that I am one whom Jesus loves." - Chad Bird, Scholar-in-Residence, 1517
