What does Jesus really teach?

Christopher Aune's groundbreaking new book, "The Simple Way of Jesus, " examines the original words of the Bible as Jesus used them. When 2,000 years of religion, dogma, and doctrine are stripped away, the real meaning of the original Greek is revealed. What he finds will surprise you.

Many of today's Christians are confused and turned off, but they really want to know. Is it only about going to church on Sunday and "just believing"? Is Bible study, prayer, and good works all there is? How do we really get to heaven? These questions and more are answered in Aune's easy-to-read prose.

The most important question, however, involves The Way. How do we really get to eternal life with God in heaven? "The Simple Way of Jesus" explains step-by-step exactly how anyone can follow Jesus right into heaven, as well as the way in which the kingdom of God is arriving on Earth. But it's not what you think.

Aune explains that much of modern Christians' confusion begins with long held misinterpretations of Biblical text. The Greek word for "church," for example, can be found throughout the New Testament. However, only twice can it be interpreted to mean an organization-and neither of those times comes from Jesus himself.

Aune's clear and logical approach concisely separates the actual teachings and words of Jesus Christ from the rampant misinterpretations that have occurred since Jesus' birth. Aune illuminates The Way to the kingdom of God and eternal life so that everyone can understand, clarifying many issues that plague today's Christians.

Much of the book's backdrop is Jesus' two-step approach to salvation: 1) Be saved "from" sin. 2) Be saved "to" eternal life in heaven. But what exactly is sin? How exactly does repentance work? Aune's clear explanations and well documented research make it easier than ever before to understand-and do-what is needed to travel The Way to heaven.

"The Simple Way of Jesus" takes a unique approach towards spirituality, demonstrating a clear connection between some of Jesus' most mysterious concepts (my Father's house has many rooms) and cutting-edge discoveries in physics and other sciences.

From the book: ""Jesus places love as the greatest principle. That's because love is not just a principle, but a power. Truth is associated with the mind, while love is associated with the heart. Now consider, the brain produces electricity, but the heart produces 500 times more electricity than the brain. The brain produces an electromagnetic field, but the heart produces an electromagnetic field that is 5,000 times greater. That hints at the real power that Jesus teaches us.""

"The Simple Way of Jesus" is an intelligent, thoughtful look at what Jesus really teaches. Once these lessons are learned, the surface discrepancies between Jesus' teachings and today's realities disappear, and The Way becomes clearer than ever before.
