Using practical, witty, and memorable examples from everyday life, McKnight explores how Jesus prayed, how the Psalms teach us to pray, and how Orthodox, Roman Catholics, Anglicans, and Benedictines pray.

Turning to Jesus: The Sociology of Conversion in the Gospels
Scot McKnight
Retail Price: $24.95
CBD Price: $19.99
( Available to ship on or about 08/16/09. )
Excerpt
Is there only one way to come to know Jesus- one model for conversion? This book addresses the modern problem of "conversion" through a careful, sociologically informed examination of conversion in the Gospels. Jesus' model of conversion, while realistic, does not conform to any of our popular models of conversion - that is, the socialization model (growth into the faith); the liturgical model; or the personal decision model. This study suggests that elements of all of these models are present within the Gospel accounts and that an informed and enhanced reading of the Gospels should engender appreciation for differences in the contemporary church.
