Jesus Wept.

Something broke. Maybe it happened slowly. Maybe all at once. Either way, you're not the person you were before, and the church that was supposed to feel like home... doesn't anymore.Jesus Wept: Now We Rise is for the people sitting in parking lots, phone in hand, wondering how faith and so much pain ended up in the same place.Former pastor Rob Riley spent thirty-five years inside the church. Eleven years on staff. He loved it. He grieved it. He left. This book is what came out of that.It's not a takedown. It's not a theology debate. It's a companion. Chapter by chapter, Rob walks with you through the fractures: children failed by the institutions meant to protect them, faith used as a weapon by those hungry for power, racism ignored from pulpits that should have known better, neighbors pushed to the edges while churches looked away.Each chapter brings you face to face with the Jesus of the Gospels. Not the one on the bumper stickers. The real one. The one who wept. The one who stayed.If you love Jesus but can't stomach what's being done in His name, this book was written for you.Includes a nine-session small group guide.
