Publications

Members of the Jesus Christians have, for many years, distributed religious literature, much of it written by Dave McKay. In recent years, they have primarily distributed copies of novels written by McKay, the main one being Survivors (ISBN 9966-755-00-4), in exchange for "a few cents to help with the cost of printing them". They reported, in 2006, that their sales for this one book alone had topped one million.

Survivors is a response to the popular Left Behind series of novels on Bible prophecy, written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. In its own words, Survivors attempts to include material that was left out of the LaHaye-Jenkins series. Mckay has also published a second book in the series, entitled Listening. It purports to be an "equel" (sic) to Survivors, taking place during the same time period, though from another viewpoint. A third book, also set during the same time period as the first two, is entitled Destroyers. It is available on the JC website, and was released in paperback form around Christmas 2008. The story for that mostly takes place in Kenya and is told through the perspective of someone who takes the mark of the beast.

As of 2009, the Jesus Christians had produced several videos, including a documentary expounding on various aspects of their lifestyle. They have produced several music videos. Their latest two videos include a documentary about the implementation of RFID microchip implants (see The Tyrant Within)and a video about the justice system, its effect on society, and a radical Christian approach to mixing justice with mercy (see Beyond Justice)
