Nine Words from Jesus
A Manifesto of Hope to Thrive in the Present and Prevail in the Future
About
What are you willing to cry out for?
Bartimaeus knew Jesus was his only hope for healing, for a better life. So even as the crowd jostled him, scolded him, told him to be quiet, he unleashed a desperate plea and SHOUTED LOUDER. This time Jesus stopped and said nine words that changed the trajectory of his life--and will change yours: "What do you want me to do for you?"
Unpacking this unforgettable encounter between Bartimaeus and Jesus with his unique humor, storytelling, and fist-pumping motivation, Chuck E. Tate shows how it can also be your story. Revealing faith-building biblical truth and wisdom, he shows how to
· overcome obstacles to boldly approach God
· rise above resistance to receive from God
· dream big and believe in God for the impossible
· move from desperately calling for Jesus to passionately following Him
God always does exceedingly more than we can ask or imagine. So go ahead and SHOUT--and receive all he has for you.
Endorsements
"Chuck Tate's Nine Words from Jesus is a book 'for such a time as this.' In a chaotic culture where truth has been relegated to the dustbin, Tate reminds us what Jesus proclaims and the true hope we can find in our Savior's words. It truly is the manifesto of hope we need as we live our lives today and prepare for what's to come. It's a must-read!"
Billy Hallowell, journalist and author
"Chuck Tate is a voice of hope and a beacon of light in a weary culture. His previous book was one of the most hopeful I've read in years. The world will always be full of bad news, but God is always calling for people full of faith and the Holy Spirit to meet the great needs of the day. Now in his new book, Chuck does it again, giving us words and stories to help us make sense of faith and live a life beyond all expectations."
Matt Brown, evangelist; founder, Think Eternity; author, Truth Plus Love
"Nine Words from Jesus got a hold of me and wouldn't let me go. It took me on a journey with the Jesus from the Gospels. I didn't want it to end! Author Chuck Tate masterfully guides the reader through Scripture and vulnerable life stories in a way that leaves you brimming with a fresh faith in God--in the best and worst times of life."
Blaine Bartel, author; speaker; freedom coach; founder, House of Resurrection
"I am so excited for the book you are reading. Why? Because Jesus wants to work in your life! Chuck Tate does such a masterful job of unpacking Jesus' invitation to each one of us. This is an opportunity for all of us to draw near and be changed."
Daniel Fusco, pastor, author, TV/radio host
"In all my years of traveling and meeting pastors and authors, Chuck has always stood out to me as one of the genuine articles. He loves Jesus and means it. This comes across in his writing and the stories he tells. I know this book is going to lead you into deeper faith in Jesus and real freedom."
Stephen McWhirter, music artist
"Whether you're searching for personal healing or desiring a new or changed relationship, this book will give you hope, deep insights, and motivation to take the next step. Chuck Tate unpacks a powerful story in a way that is life-giving, hope-filled, and full of practical application."
Jason VanRuler, licensed therapist; speaker; bestselling author, Get Past Your Past
"When Chuck Tate talks, I listen. And when he writes a book, I read it. This book is a treasure chest, and in it you will find gold. Chuck answers questions people are actually asking, and even prophetically answers the questions people haven't yet had the courage to ask. Everyone should especially read the chapter 'The Universe Isn't Listening.' In a time of deconstruction, it has become common to walk away from Jesus Christ while still embracing spirituality. Chuck exposes the fallacy of putting your faith in anything relating to the spiritual while eliminating Jesus. If I've just described you or someone you know, get this book. It could save your life."
Bill Vanderbush, author and speaker
"Hope is vital to faith--it empowers you to stand firm even when those around you tell you to be quiet. This powerful book illuminates the significance of this journey, helping to fill in the answers we sometimes miss on our path of faith. We've known Chuck and his family since he was a young man, and we can say he's the real deal. Take the time to read this incredible book--its words will bring life not only to you but to your family and friends as well!"
