Description

For 2000 years, Jesus has been both decried and leveraged. His story, set in a context so contrary yet strangely similar to today, serves as both a troubling and affirming testament to the quest for a meaningful life purpose. Many know of Jesus, but perhaps not his complete story. Regardless of belief, Jesus signifies trouble - in the context of his time and for those grappling with his teachings today. Using elements of drama, The Trouble with Jesus demonstrates why both believers and skeptics are unsettled and provoked by the one who claimed to be the Son of God. Jesus championed the marginalized, challenged wealth and power dynamics, and upended conventional wisdom through his parables. He defied the status quo and faced betrayal by corrupt religious and political authorities. His greatest trouble was being crucified and his subsequent resurrection, defeating death, ushering in a new era, and inspiring a new way of being. In an edgy voice recognized by those wrestling with such existential questions, whether one has never been to church, or has been estranged from it, or once thought they knew him, The Trouble with Jesus confronts concepts of one of the most controversial figures whoever existed and the revolution he began.

Author Biography:

Constance Hastings has a rich background in understanding human nature. From an early age, she enjoyed a passion for literature. As an educator, she both studied and taught the works of great writers at the high school and college levels, earning her an Excellence in Teaching award. As a freelance journalist, Constance covered everything from local events to a presidential speech at the White House, receiving numerous awards for her work. She then pursued a National Certification as a mental health counselor, assisting individuals and families. Merging her faith-based counseling with her role as a Deacon in The Methodist Church, Constance has forged many meaningful connections between faith and the broader world. Her weekly blog, The Trouble with Jesus, encourages readers to reflect on Jesus’ teachings both historically and in today’s context. Constance and her husband divide their time between Wilmington, Delaware and Jacksonville, Florida to stay close to both of their children.
