Modern critical biblical scholarship often points out how the church's teachings about Jesus have become encrusted with tradition so that it is hard to see what the New Testament really says about him. So how should the church present the story and identity of Jesus of Nazareth?

The idea of trial in the life of a believer as a stewardship responsibility is not something we hear much about. The author seeks to answer the following questions: How can the trials of a believer in Christ be treated as a stewardship?  What if there is a lot more to the trial than we see on the surface?  What if trials are in reality “disguised gifts” from the Father? What if trials are one of the avenues God uses to display His glory through the lives of His children? What if trials produce stewardship rewards for the believer who endures them faithfully?This book takes dead aim at trials as a stewardship and argues that when trials are managed as God’s property given to us, we find trials to be a blessing - not a blight! Tom Wright has served as lead pastor of Memorial Baptist Church in Columbus Ohio for over forty years.

Hospital For Sinners is the culmination of nearly thirty years of planning and preparation. The idea was first conceived in the late 1970''s; thus, we have a storied history of the religious right and its components from 1979 to 2006. During this time period the supposedly light of the world has become darkened by sex-scandals, misappropriation of funds, and sundry other lewd behaviors.Our church leadership is in pursuit of money and power, while hiding behind a mask of self-righteousness and political associations. Does God want Christians to clothe themselves in sackcloth and ashes? No! Nor does He desire one to ride around in a Rolls-Royce either.Tom Wright was educated in the public schools of Lynchburg, Virginia.
