Ugghhhh

The book I'm reading this week is The Third Jesus by Deepak Chopra simply because this is the time of the year when people release books and write articles about Jesus. This book is no exception to the endless attempts to give you the 'real' Jesus. While some of his statements are acurate about the church and its short comings, he's making broad sweeping comments without much substance. It drives me crazy to read this stuff, and yet this is where most people look to discover Jesus, not the Bible.

So, hold onto your hats, its going to be a bumpy ride. Don't get too excited about Time and Newsweek publishing cover stories about Jesus, because they'll probably quote Chopra and not the Gospels. Then again, how much have you heard about the Jesus Seminar lately? And that is my point.
