Jesus invited his disciples to follow Him. Yet today many Christians and churches are unintentionally following counterfeit versions of the Savior such as the American Jesus, the Emergent Jesus, or the Mr. Rogers Jesus. Not surprisingly, most look a lot more like us than Jesus.
In Like Jesus, author Jamie Snyder exposes the counterfeit versions of Jesus while taking readers on the three-stage journey of Imitation, Identification, and Intimacy. Because the only way to become like Jesus is to discover what Jesus is really like. What if the Jesus we worship today isn't the real Jesus but simply a version that acts and thinks like we do-a nice, safe, and completely counterfeit Savior? Jamie Snyder is lead pastor of Lakeside Christian Church where he preaches and teaches to thousands each week. Though he has many roles-husband, father, preacher, writer, bookworm, table-tennis player extraordinaire-the most significant one is child of God. He resides with his wife and three children in Kentucky. Prologue: Discover or Download?
