Befriending Christ

This book is an invitation to a journey of growth, of transcendence.Most of us have been asked to choose a certain kind of life, unbeknown to us – one that doesn’t challenge the entrenched systems of control, one that leaves our true potential untapped and leaves us unfulfilled.But what if there’s another way?This bold, refreshing look at Christ’s teachings strips away the yellowing varnish of tradition and dogma. It brings to light what the average believer – coaxed, cajoled, and sometimes threatened into accepting – might not dare to question. Yet underneath it all lies something pragmatic. Something powerful.If we are to get around the invisible boundaries that limit our growth, we need to embrace that message. This book presents it in an accessible and unburdening way, without the baggage.It is for those feeling stifled, those who suspect that the version of faith they’ve inherited rules more by fear than by love.Christ’s message wasn’t meant to preserve power structures that often claim the very lives that must constantly strive at their upkeep. It was meant to liberate souls.And the good news? You don’t have to wait till kingdom come. You can put his message into practice – and reap the benefits – here, in this world.
