Many Christians are used to the idea of a meek and mild Jesus, the stereotypical "nice guy." Countering these all too prevalent notions, Mark Galli offers a unique study of seventeen troubling passages from the Gospel of Mark to prove we should be anything but comfortable with Christ. Highlighting the undeniable fact of an untamable and often militant Messiah, Galli gives readers a training manual in spiritual growth to awaken sleeping believers and transform them into devoted disciples. Hinging on the compelling nature of the love of God, he explains how this mean and wild Jesus shows us truer love than our pleasant construct ever could. Striking and bold, always rooted in Scripture, Jesus Mean and Wild will put readers on the road to true discipleship. Now available in trade paper.… (més)

I completely love this book! Too often Jesus is portrayed as a meek and mild man who felt nothing but love. And while he was all of those things, that is not what defines Jesus. Jesus was radical, he took a hard stand for what was right, even when the religious rulers of the day had it in for him. This book paints the Biblical picture of a Savior who was not bound by the rules of man, but by the passion of God. Highly recommended! (

NCLA Review - According to Galli, Churches today have lost their backbone when it comes to the tough issues of God like repentance, not always being the nice guy and standing firm on complex issues. People want a "feel good" god. But Jesus is much more than that. Galli asks us to consider Jesus’ life: he was sent out into the wilderness to face the devil after his baptism; the Pharisees tried to kill him throughout his ministry; his life ended on the cross. Through all this, Jesus stood firm on the will of God. To find the closeness to Jesus we are looking for, we must follow Jesus’ path of being firm in our belief and standing up for the will of God, no matter the consequences. Rating 3 —NP (

Jesus Mean and Wild challenges our culturally tinged notions of the gentle, kind nature of Jesus with snippets from the gospel of Mark where He more closely resembles God as we see Him in the OT. A powerful book that helps one see why the full nature of God is both more loving, and more to be feared than we realize. (

I think this book is great. It deals with all the Scriptures you've wondered about and teachers and preachers love to skip or explain away. No sentimental image of Jesus here. It portrays Him as the tough, plain spoken, sometimes downright rude person he often was as he was portrayed in the Gospels. No namby pamby, meek and mild Jesus here.
The book warns against creating a Jesus in your imagination that does not now, and never existed. It's well documented and extremely thought provolking. I plan to read it again and I very seldom like a book that much. Do yourself a favor and try it. (
