Too much emphasis in the church today is on being respectable, nice, and presentable. Jesus was not. Relying on the original passages of scripture, Jesus is revealed as a provocative cage-rattler who started a revolution. A wonderful re-examination of Jesus.

Praise for Jesus Unplugged:
Deliberately provocative, profoundly evocative, beautifully invocative. - Leonard Sweet, Drew Theological Seminary, George Fox University, preachingplus.com
In this book Bert Gary presents a Jesus who had the power to shock his contemporaries and who will yet disturb our easy assurances and smooth pieties if we but take him seriously. Such a fresh encounter can unleash the transforming power of the gospel in our time and in our church. Amen and bravo! - James Laney, President Emeritus, Emory University
Jesus Unplugged is a creative invitation for all of us to look with fresh eyes and open hearts at many of the sayings and teachings of Jesus. In his own unique and thought-provoking, soul-stirring way, Bert Gary has opened some of the Gospel lessons for us who live in this post-modern world. Drawing on the work of Edwin Friedman and connecting them with sayings of Jesus, we are brought into a helpful conversation that can provide insights into leadership and discipleship in the 21st century. In good Friedman fashion, Bert has disturbed the system and challenged us to faithfulness and obedience to Jesus. - Bishop Larry M. Goodpaster, Alabama-West Florida Conference, The United Methodist Church
