It can be challenging—even uncomfortable—to step into the lives of people who are different than we are. Yet in a world that was governed strictly by geographical, religious, and social barriers, Jesus was audacious enough to cross the borders that kept people in safe categories. He demonstrated that the God-following life is one committed to entering the lives and stories of all people. Why Jesus Crossed the Road challenges readers to become “road-crossing Christians”—people who see border-crossing as a spiritual discipline essential for authentic transformation, both in their own lives and in the lives of those they meet along the way.

Levi and John Troyer are twins, but they are complete opposites. John is a hard worker who puts faith, their father, and the family farm before everything else in his life. Levi’s total focus is baseball. Using a fence post for a bat, he often shirks his responsibilities around the farm, opting for a game of ball instead. When he’s not playing his favorite sport, he’s trying to win the heart of pretty Hannah Weaver, otherwise known as the “only Amish girl who can’t cook.” But when sports talent scout Phil Watson discovers Levi and his incredible pitching arm and offers him a chance to go pro, even Hannah can’t stop Levi from seeking a career in the majors, leaving their community and the Amish lifestyle behind. Sibling rivalry, untold secrets, broken paths, and plenty of surprises await the Troyer family as this story of a son’s dream and a father’s love unfolds. Can an Amish ballplayer make it in the world of professional baseball—and at what cost? Will Hannah wait for the man she loves? Will John ever accept his brother? And in the end, will any of the family finally make it home again?“Anything Martha Bolton writes, I read. Not just because she’s hilarious, but because she spins a great yarn that takes me to better places than I’d hoped to visit, places that nourish my soul. You'll love this book. I sprained my wrist turning pages.” —Phil Callaway, best-selling author of Laughing Matters and host of Laugh Again radio“A heartwarming depiction of Amish life, a woman’s love for her man, and a man’s love of baseball. Bolton hits it way out of the park!”—Beverly Lewis, author of The Shunning“Love baseball? Love a good father-son story? Then you’re going to love this fun and powerful novel by my good friend, Martha Bolton.

In a world of leadership failure, Jesus stands out because He can be trusted. The glory of God revealed in Jesus flows out of his humility—and our great King is the greatest because he is safe to all he leads. If your heart longs for a leader who will never use you and then abandon you; one who is genuinely committed to your best interests, you will encounter such a leader in the pages of The Safe King. Pastor and speaker Dr. Jan D. Hettinga delves into the life of Jesus to help readers appreciate the perfectly safe ego of the leader revealed in the Bible as the Savior and Lord of all who trust Him. The Safe King explores the roadblocks that keep many of us from following Christ, including our deep distrust of authority, our fear of giving up control, and our reluctance to let go of our kingdoms in order to embrace His—and offers ways to move past these roadblocks into a life of full discipleship. The results are transformative: ultimately, following such a leader takes us on the path of becoming like Him, safe and trustworthy ourselves. If you are tired of trying to run your own life and are ready for a leader you can totally trust, The Safe King will be a reliable guide to the fullness of life waiting in the safety of the kingdom of God.“The Safe King touches on one of the most crucial needs of our day and offers a careful discipling of both new believers and older church members who have never been taught to really follow Christ. I thoroughly endorse this book!”—Henry T. Blackaby“The Safe King offers a fresh argument for a kingdom emphasis in discipleship…one that is deeply needed today!”—Terry Taylor, former US President of the Navigators
