Jesus Unleashed

Ron Clark has written a deceptively demanding book that not only compels engagement but that anticipates changed perception and conduct. He offers a commentary on the Gospel of Luke but this is no ordinary commentary; this commentary is linked to reality on the ground and teems with connections to real people in real crunches facing real opportunities. It is of course not an

accident that Clark has settled on the Gospel of Luke, for it is this Gospel that has in purview serious social transformation. The book draws us close to the Gospel call for engagement in such transformation.



--Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary



"Those who have loved the Bible all of their lives, and those who are coming to it afresh, will find here the sweet aroma of the Holy Spirit wafting through the broken places of our world and reviving all of God's children, both inside and outside traditional churches. The third evangelist's work of introducing Jesus to all comers continues in this valuable work."

--Mark Hamilton, Author of The Transforming Word



"Ron Clark's new book invites us to abandon the sanitized religion of Christianity that we have practiced for too long. In Jesus Unleashed, he shows how Luke's Gospel presents a Christ who insists that we eschew the static, comfortable, easy forms of religion we have substituted for the cross-shaped, shalom-bringing friendship with sinners that he modeled for us."

--Michael Frost, Author of The Road to Missional



"I deeply admire Ron and Agape, the community he leads, as they embody the principles Ron highlights from his study of Luke. Jesus Unleashed presents not only solid exposition of Scripture but a practical challenge for Christ's followers. I have great hope for the future of the church as we reach out to the marginalized people in our society today."

--Kevin Palau, President of Luis Palau Association
