Many Christians unintentionally follow an incomplete or distorted version of Jesus - as a life coach, movement leader, cultural visionary, or blessing dispenser. In Getting Jesus Wrong, Matt Johnson exposes these false saviors and shows how feel-good slogans and checklist Christianity can leave believers anxious, proud, guilty, and spiritually exhausted.
The first half of the book recounts Johnson's personal encounters with a string of false saviors that many readers, especially young adults, will recognize. Johnson's humor and transparency in telling his own story make difficult spiritual issues accessible and relatable.
Rather than offering another program of spiritual vitamins or a blueprint for better living, Getting Jesus Wrong redirects readers to the Jesus revealed in Scripture. The book invites exhausted and disillusioned disciples to embrace daily dependence, humility, and the transforming reality of gospel love.
