    Gary Manning Jr — 

    Reza Aslans new book, Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth (Random House, 2013), is in most ways a typical attempt to paint a new picture of Jesus. Because so many hundreds of books of this type have been published, Aslans book would most likely not have received significant attention at all, except for two factors. First, a botched interview of the author on Fox News caused a huge surge of interest, making his book an overnight best seller. And second, Aslan is a very good writer. His primary teaching role, after all, is as a professor of creative writing at UC Riverside. Aslan is able to take a lot of important historical background and present it in a riveting manner, accessible to most readers.

    Octavio Esqueda — 

    Hace ya varios a簽os escuch矇 una frase que me ha hecho pensar constantemente y que refleja uno de los mayores peligros que enfrentan los l穩deres cristianos. La frase dice as穩: es importante no estar tan ocupado en la obra de Dios que nos olvidemos del Dios de la obra. El problema no es el servicio a Dios sino el enfoque y, en muchos casos, la motivaci籀n que nos mueve al servicio. Estoy convencido que uno de los pecados principales de muchos l穩deres es el 矇nfasis obsesivo por el trabajo y, por lo tanto, el descuido de lo esencial y verdaderamente importante como Dios, la familia y el cuidado personal.
