So how do the rest of us well-practiced sinners, connect with a guy like that and develop any kind of a meaningful relationship to him?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the unique perspective of a self-proclaimed \"Sweathog,\" Steve Rosenbaum shares his journey to faith through humor, personal stories and down-to-earth interpretation of scripture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith chapter titles such as \"Doctor C,\" \"FrankenSavior,\" \"GodFellas\" and \"Parable of the Mona Lisa,\" \u003cb\u003eThe Lower East Side of Heaven\u003c\/b\u003e does not provide any of the well-worn pleasantries and patronizing lip service normally offered to the Savior. Instead, the reader is inspired to cultivate a personal fascination for the most authentic life ever lived.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat if we could seize upon the unrivaled inspiration found in the life of Christ when he walked this earth? What if we took a \"first time\" look at the man we think we already \"get\"? Rosenbaum calls our attention not only to the nobility of Jesus' teaching, but to the nobility of his silence as well. How did an individual with the ability to raise the dead keep that secret for thirty years prior to his public ministry? How does a man sit on power like that? Would that not make him the world's first and only real dual-identity hero?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe triumph of Jesus' sinlessness, a recurring theme of the book, is approached from a variety of angles. For example, many are unaware that Jesus actually dared his enemies-not his loyal worshipers, but people obsessed with discrediting his claim to deity (and therefore insanely motivated)-to prove him guilty of sin. That was more than twenty centuries ago and to this day his sinless record is still intact. As Rosenbaum points out, \"Move over, Lou Gehrig and Cal Ripken, meet the real Iron Man!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe goal of \u003cb\u003eThe Lower East Side of Heaven\u003c\/b\u003e is to help the reader to get past viewing Jesus in the pre-packaged, mechanical way to which we've been accustomed. It urges us to see him for the truly authentic human being he was and to grasp the significance of God's immigration to Earth. The book's hopeful premise is that through this type of inspired consideration, even the most unlikely of believers can develop a genuine personal faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.24 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50409763438829,"sku":"9798681430391","price":17.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/the-lower-east-side-of-heaven-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
