What Keeps Us from Following Jesus? Most of us have an internal list of all the things that a messiah should be and do. Most of all, we expect him to be like us. So what happens when the one who claims to be the Messiah doesn t meet our expectations? Many of the people in the gospels had a fixed set of beliefs about what the Messiah would be and do. But Jesus didn t match their expectations. He didn t keep the right company, cater to the powerful, or affirm their picture of God. In Unfollowers, Derek Cooper and Ed Cyzewski ask: What can today s followers of Jesus learn from the dropouts, detractors, and doubters in the gospels? The unfollowers map out common obstacles for Christians today, offer a fresh perspective on the disciples of Jesus, and reveal the alluring counterfeit paths that tempt followers of Jesus today.

Readers of the Bible rarely, if ever, turn to the book of Revelation for comfort or assurance in hard times. In fact, many popular interpretations of Revelation today focus on predicting a terrifying future that leaves many unsettled and disconnected from John's original message to the seven churches, many of whom were suffering persecution under the Roman Empire. Revelation encouraged its original readers to persevere as they waited for God to eradicate evil, restore justice, and redeem the world. Revelation speaks to the past, present, and future church with the assurance of Christ's victory over evil and the promise that faithfulness will be richly rewarded. This often perplexing book of the Bible reveals good news about the rule of Christ and the future of God's people. Rather than saying, "Watch out The Anti-Christ is coming" Revelation tells its readers, "Hold on, Jesus is Lord"
