Doubts plague Christians. That's how it ought to be. No Christian ever meets the God Jehovah or his son Jesus Christ on earth, and doubt often raises its dreary head. Faith can collapse in what the author describes as "a world of free will rather than God's Will." It's hard to stay Christian in a world with so much debate about free will. If you have God and/or Jesus in your heart, then God and/or Jesus is everywhere, but if you don't, they just don't exist. Most Christians get a little prickly about that obvious thing, but is it any wonder that a crisis of faith occurs in many?

So, the author insists, "we must be freaks."  Jesus Freaks is a book designed to accompany the author's Christian Rock music, and despite that connection, it delivers an amazing antidote to the doubt issue. It refrains from throwing facts and arguments at the skeptic and instead, focuses on faith. With engaging stories of martyrs in Christian history, Jesus Freaks presents examples of Christians who have never wavered in their belief, never given up on God even when threatened with death. If you're a Christian, you'll find this book a god-send. The most shocking tales end with actual martyrdom, accounts that bring tears to the eyes. That's where the title comes from: The book is chock-full of outstanding Jesus freaks.
