Why Jesus Crossed the Road: Learning to Follow the Unconventional Travel Itinerary of a First-century Carpenter and His Ragtag Group of Friends as . and Generally Go Where Most People Don't Main, Bruce D.

If we are completely honest, all of us have places, situations, and people whom we would rather avoid. Yet in a world that was governed strictly by geographical, religious, and social barriers, Jesus was audacious enough to cross the borders that kept people in safe categories. He demonstrated that the God-following life is one committed to entering the lives and stories of all people―a life committed to the lost spiritual discipline of border-crossing. In Why Jesus Crossed the Road, Bruce Main shows how God can use your own “crossings” to change your life, and the lives of those you meet along the way.

Where you go says a lot about who you are.
Just look at Jesus. He traveled to places that one might not associate with a holy man; he spent time with people whom others avoided; he crossed the roads and barriers that other people detoured around.
So where is God nudging you to go?
In Why Jesus Crossed the Road, Bruce Main shows how God can use your own “crossings,” both big and small, to redirect your life and the lives of those you meet along the way. As you join Jesus and his ragtag band of followers in the lost spiritual discipline of road crossing, you’ll learn to enter the lives and stories of all people―and your own journey will be immeasurably richer as a result.
