Translating Jesus
Revell, 2023
By Shauna Pilgreen

WHO: Shauna Pilgreen, who is on staff at Epic Church and is a network director for Alpha USA.

SHE SAYS: “We, as we live, are the best way to translate Jesus. If you want people to know Jesus, be open for them to know you.”

THE BIG IDEA: Understanding both the language of today’s culture and the language of Christ will help readers reach people for God.

THE PROGRESSION: In 21 brief chapters, the author takes readers on a journey to become bilingual in the language that the culture today can understand as well as the language of Jesus in order to better share their faith. Each chapter ends with practices that can build the readers’ confidence.

“Lay down your life—starting with your awkwardness, your discomfort—for your friends. That’s how you translate Jesus.”
