Irresistible: Audio Bible Studies: Reclaiming the New That Jesus Unleashed for the World

Written by Andy Stanley

Narrated by Andy Stanley

Author and pastor Andy Stanley explains what made the earliest Christian movement so compelling and resilient...and what we need to change today to make it so again.

Once upon a time there was a version of the Christian faith that was practically irresistible. After all, what could be more so than the gospel that Jesus ushered in? Why, then, isn't it the same with Christianity today?

In this audio Bible study, Pastor Andy answers questions like:

• What did first-century Christians know that we don't—about God's Word, about their lives, about love?
• What did they do that we're not doing?
• What makes Christianity so resistible in today's culture?
• What needs to change in order to repeat the growth our faith had at its beginning?

Andy is deeply concerned with the present-day church and its future, and he believes that many of the solutions to our issues can be found by investigating our roots. It's time to hit pause and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and little chance of survival. It's time to embrace the version of faith that initiated—against all human odds—a chain of events resulting in the most significant and extensive cultural transformation the world has ever seen.

This is a version of Christianity we must remember and re-embrace if we want to be salt and light in an increasingly savorless and dark world.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book which was also read by the author Andy Stanley. His writing style is just as excellent as his preaching style which is always easy to understand and continuously interesting from beginning to end. In past years I had bought all of his sermon DVDs and now I look forward to reading all of the books which he has written. In my view he must be one of the most highly gifted and brilliantly intelligent preachers in America. What a privilege and pleasure to have access to his excellently presented teachings! Thank you so much Scribd for making it possible for me to download some of the best books from your library. Delaine de Villiers (South Africa)

Any book that talks about how “unhitching the old testament” is a good thing misses the rich value of it and how it points to Christ and how much God loves us

This teaching has allowed me to consider getting Scripture out from under the magnifying glass, and focusing back on Jesus - putting Jesus back into 1st place where He belongs.
