Challenge in what it is to have faith part 2

I had to take several days to chew on what I've read in Jesus>Religion chapter One Will the Real Jesus Please Stand Up.  It has gotten me thinking.  The questions at the end have been such a great help.  Especially, the last one which basically asked why the focus for Christians are on what 'righteous' deeds rather then the needs of those who are in need.  This has been something I have to figure out who it is that are in need.  Are the one who are in need who are typically thought of or not?  I don't know how to really how to fully answer this fully. 

Challenged in what it is to have faith part 1

I started reading Jesus>Religion Why he is so much better than trying harder, doing more, and being good enough, by Jefferson Bethke.  Being only part way though chapter one so far.  From what I've read its been a great.  So, far it had been a challenge and I hope that it will continue to be.  It has been awhile since I have read a book that has caused me to question what faith is and what it is that I believe.
Here is Jefferson Behke's website:
