Why did Jesus, rising from the dead after His crucifixion, spend 40 days on earth when He could have returned home to His Father and the majesty of heaven? And out of all the people on the planet at that time who could have helped Him get a major religious movement off the ground, why did He seek out bumbling, often uncomprehending, disciples who deserted Him and ran the other way when He was tortured, tried and crucified?
In A Desperate Faith, Jo Kadlecek shows us how the disciples who saw the risen Jesus after His death were changed from frightened and confused fair-weather followers to pillars of the Christian faith. What happened to them happened to others—and still does today. A desperate, little-known faith blossomed and swept through the world, all because a Holy Presence was crucified, died and was buried—and rose again to walk the earth before ascending to the loving arms of His Father in Heaven.
A Desperate Faith invites us all to experience our own transformation in every part of our lives—our relationships, our jobs, our finances, our family and more—as we come to a new understanding and appreciation of the basis of our faith: the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.
