Being a Christian isn't just going to church and sitting in a pew. To me, it's so much more than that. Jesus>Religion truly captures the real meaning of being loved and being a Christian. It leaves the reader happy that they are serving the Lord the way He desires, wanting to accept Christ into their lives or upset that they have been living the Christian life the wrong way. I am truly fascinated by Bethke's perspective in the book and the morals that stick with you forever. The book pulls you in and won't let go until you understand its real meaning. Books are meant to leave readers wanting more or with a moral that sticks. I highly recommend this amazing book to anyone who desires to believers and non-believers. Either way, this book truly inspires and teaches many valuable lessons. Therefore, I would give this book a five out of five. A pretty affected rant, Bethke gets the essence of the gospel and how many think incorrectly that a works based religion will make one right with God.His theology is ok but his writing is quite frankly annoying. Maybe it's the 20 something west coast style but he over uses the dramatic triplet. For exampleIt's free.And it's life giving.Will you trust him. That's ok once or twice but by the 20th time it had gotten on my nerves. That said he made several excellent points. All sin is paid for either by Jesus on the cross or by the sinner. We pray for the presents of Jesus when we really should desire his essence. His treatment of the unhealthy separation of sacred from secular, especially in the areas of music and art was quite good.His message was true but I think premature for someone married less than a year to be touting the merits of marriage to the love of his life. Overall the book was long on the what and very lacking in the how.
This book is amazing. What Jefferson has to say is worth reading (and listening to on YouTube).

I really enjoyed his view point. Really makes you think about your own relationship with Jesus.

Some good reflections but I'm not as captivated by the gospel as told here as in other works.

Cool, provocative, moving book. Might have made me feel a tad old, but that's okay!
