Publisher Description
What if living boldly for Christ meant breaking the rules of this world? Are you ready to follow Jesus like never before as you to chase Him boldly and fearlessly? It's time to answer your call to an unshakable faith and a greater purpose.
Jesus didn't follow the crowd—He challenged the status quo, broke through barriers, and chose love over comfort, even when it meant standing alone. As His followers, we're called to walk that same courageous path: to stand out, love boldly, and embrace a faith that isn't afraid to shake things up for what matters.
Rebel isn't a book about rebellion for rebellion's sake—it's a practical guide for stepping out of the shadows and living boldly for Christ, especially when the world doesn't understand or even pushes back.
Whether you're just beginning your faith journey or have traveled it for years, GRAMMY-nominated singer and bestselling author Anne Wilson invites you to rebel against fear, doubt, and everything that keeps you from the fullness of Christ. You'll be inspired to:
Follow Jesus by standing out, not blending in.Stay strong through opposition and ridicule.Choose obedience and passion in everyday moments.Step past your comfort zone and shine your faith.Pursue greater adventures with Jesus by your side.
Each chapter starts with a story from Scripture, where Jesus broke boundaries to reach the forgotten and the lost. Anne candidly shares her own struggles and victories, urging you to break the mold and find real freedom in following Jesus, no matter the challenge.
Anne's hit song REBEL inspired millions to break free from the ordinary and pursue something greater. Now, her book goes deeper, showing you how to walk fearlessly with Jesus every day.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Country music artist Wilson (My Jesus) issues a strident call for readers to "speak up and speak out" for Christ. Noting that Jesus was a rebel of his time who defied conventions by associating with social pariahs and flouting laws to spread his message, Wilson calls on readers to use his example as inspiration to stand up for godly principles. On a broad scale, that means finding meaning in Christ rather than in fame or money, while on a day-to-day basis readers can choose to dress modestly, avoid cursing, and stand up for political causes that reflect traditional Christian teachings. Throughout, the author memorably chronicles how she's gone against the grain by spreading her faith through her music even when it meant defying industry conventions, and reflects on grieving the death of her brother as a teen. While Wilson's passion is undeniable, her message often gets lost in hyperbolic warnings about Christianity being "under attack across the globe" and odd interpretations of what it means to "speak up" for God, as when she implores readers to be "ready to lay it all down for Jesus the way Charlie Kirk did." This is best suited for conservative believers already in agreement with Wilson's views.
