What do you think?
Redacted: Does the Bible you hold in your hands match the one in your heart?
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to agree with the Bible-and still live like you're the exception? God can speak. Jesus can save. Grace can be real. But when Scripture gets uncomfortable, suddenly you start editing.
You're not tearing pages out.
You're just quietly marking out certain truths by how you live.
That's what Redacted is about. The Bible in your hands may be intact, but the one shaping your decisions is often trimmed down to what feels safe, popular, and convenient.
This book presses on the passages we tend to black out-hell, suffering, sex, money, allegiance, justice, discipleship, and the myth of "just me and Jesus." Not to win arguments, but to win back integrity.
Because if Jesus is Lord, you don't get to keep the marker.

A must-read, in my humble opinion!
Jake hits on so many controversial points and directs readers straight to the Word of God to dig for truth. I found myself reading quotes out loud to my husband throughout the whole thing….and the chapter on politics….HE SAYS THE THINGS!!
The writing style is clear, concise, REAL and engaging for the every-day reader.
I hope to lead a small group at our church in the future using this book alongside the Bible!
