Books by Rob Shepherd

Jerks! Jerks are everywhere, and most of them have access to a computer. Whether it’s neighbors, family, coworkers, bosses, social media, or people we go to church with, all of us know someone who is a jerk. Typically, we try to confront or ignore jerks, but is there a better way?Kill the Jerk is for anyone looking to improve their relationships. Most people want healthy relationships, but few people are willing to do what it takes to have them. With humor, practical application, and a desire to honor God, Kill the Jerk offers a nonviolent way to have relationships that thrive.

Watch out! It's a Christian! Does the word "Christian" make you-or everyone around you-cringe? The instant you tell someone you're a Christian or go to church, a million negative associations often zip through their mind: hypocrite, narrow-minded, bigoted, anti-science, racist, sexist, or worse.What about authentic? Loving? Forgiving? Compassionate? How did the idea of what it means to be a Christian become so distorted in the modern church culture that we've lost sight of its original purpose-to live as Jesus Christ did? Pastor and author Rob Shepherd takes a humorous, but poignant look at how the focus of Christianity has shifted to be more self-focused, rather than Jesus-focused, and takes readers back to the essentials of Christ's original message: to love God and love others!With practical life lessons and relevant spiritual insights, Shepherd offers relief for those weary of the "Sunday morning march" and want to experience a true renewal of the heart and soul and restore the original definition of what it means to live as a follower of Christ.

After reading an anonymous letter that crucified his recent sermon at church, Rob Shepherd heard a still small voice say, “Even if you preached a perfect sermon somebody would crucify it.” That thought helped to set Rob free. Whether it’s struggling to forgive someone, understanding how important human relationships are, or wrestling with a spiritual enemy, the key to victorious living is learning how to find your identity in Jesus. When we do, we live less to please people and more to please God. That’s the kind of truth that “turns the world upside down”---and it will radically change your life as well.
