Jesus > Religion - Why He is So Much Better Than Trying Harder, Doing More, and Being Good Enough (MP3 format, CD, Unabridged Edition)

Abandon dead, dry rule-keeping and embrace the promise of being truly known and deeply loved. Jefferson Bethke burst into the cultural conversation in 2012 with a passionate, provocative poem titled ?Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus.? The 4-minute video literally became an overnight sensation, with 7 million YouTube views in its first 48 hours (and 23+ million in a year). In Jesus > Religion, Bethke unpacks contrasts similar to those he drew in the poem ? highlighting the difference between teeth gritting and grace, law and love, performance and peace, despair and hope. Jeff's book will make you stop and listen to a voice in your heart that may have been drowned out by the noise of religion. Listen to that voice, then follow it ? right to the feet of Jesus.? ?
