Andrew Farley's experience as a Christian was first characterized by relentless self-effort as he tried to please God at any cost, resulting in spiritual fatigue and disillusionment with church. Then he discovered what relaxing in Jesus means and how it can transform everyday life. Using a unique story-driven format, God without Religion dismantles common religious misconceptions, revealing a hopeful approach to what unites us rather than what divides us; the true meaning of walking by the Spirit; the facts about judgment, rewards, and God's discipline; the problem with the popular challenge to "die to self". Pulling no punches, Farley shows how the truth about these controversial issues can liberate and unify believers as we discover how to rest in the unconditional love of God.
