Jesus said, "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to little children." Did you know that Jesus (Yeshua in his native Aramaic) spoke out against public displays of piety, religious ritual, empty repetition of prayers, and publicizing charitable giving? Or that he spoke against calling anyone father, priest, or rabbi, and that his only enemies were the religious elites? Or that he never said, "Go to church" or "Worship me," and that his ministry was funded by women? Yeshua Speaks: The Paleo-Christian Teachings of Jesus for Nonbelievers reveals these and other lesser-known facts about Jesus and his teachings. It also dispels many of the misunderstandings that turn people away from Christianity and keep them from reading the actual words of Jesus. Yeshua Speaks presents the essential words of Jesus as his first-century audience would have heard them preached and demonstrates that Jesus' message is more than just a collection of helpful sayings, but a spiritual manifesto just as revolutionary, and desperately needed, today as it was 2,000 years ago. Stephen Snyder is an advocate for a spiritual revolution with a return to the basics of Christianity and a faith based primarily on the New Testament and principally the teachings in the four Gospels of Jesus. He is the author of seven nonfiction books.
