A More Christlike Way: A More Beautiful Faith
This sequel to a "More Christlike God", is a book about Jesus Christ. In "A More Christlike Way", Jersak lays out how Jesus Christ of Nazareth, in his fully human nature, forged the path for a new and true humanity. We'll call it the Jesus Way.
This is literally crucial. When referring to the Jesus Way, we're describing the life and faith of a man--the Jesus of the four Gospels--whose earthly sojourn embodied complete surrender to and trust in the God he called his Abba (Papa).
Knowing that our subject matter is "the man Christ Jesus" matters greatly because herein, we'll make no grandiose claims for any church or any individual disciple, alive or departed. Christianity's infamy is that our way and our faith have not been very Christlike.
Observers attempting to retrace the Jesus Way from the path walked by those who identify as Christian would become hopelessly lost. They would stumble over all manner of obstacles to our beautiful faith. Jesus alone created the Jesus Way and walked it perfectly.

Brad Jersak is an accomplished theologian, thoroughly grounded in
Scripture and Patristics, but in A More Christlike Way he also writes from
decades of pastoral experience. This is what makes his sequel to A More
Christlike God so compelling. We have academic theologians and seasoned
pastors, but it's rare to find both so beautifully combined in a single person.
A More Christlike Way is a book for our time and place in North America,
where so much of what is called Christianity has been hijacked to serve
agendas that are decidedly unChristlike. A More Christlike Way sets forth a
vision for following Jesus that is in keeping with the kind of faith that first
turned the world upside down two thousand years ago.

Nobody has taught me more about the character of God than Brad Jersak.
Together, A More Christlike God and A More Christlike Way are nothing less
than the theological, pastoral foundation for a brewing revolution. This
is the clear, bold, defining articulation of the Jesus path we desperately
need. In this apocalyptic time, when so many people have become rightly
disillusioned with religion that is anything but Christlike, this book is
revelatory. If your faith has been unraveling or "deconstructing"--here is
the new construction on the other side.

In A More Christlike Way, Brad Jersak invites the weary, angry, cynical,
struggling, deconstructing, numb, overwhelmed ones into a way of faith
that cuts through triumphalistic, ego-driven, striving religiosity to
resurrect resilient hope in a living, loving, and life-transforming God.
Jersak's voice rings with the honest authenticity of a disciple who walks
out what he seeks to teach. This book is no silver bullet to a richer, more
meaningful faith life. Jersak has traversed the hills and valleys of faith for
too long to offer such an empty promise.
Rather, if you have reached the end of your best efforts; if after discarding
the trappings of religion you find yourself empty; if you feel lost in the
meaninglessness of it all and overwhelmed by the chaotic, violent mess of
the world, then this book might just be the invitation you're seeking to
step into a faith that embraces the paradox of liberation and surrender, sets
mercy and compassion as its compass, and teaches the practices that allow
us to live into a more Christlike way.
