If the Church Were Christian: Rediscovering the Values of Jesus

I was lucky to have found this book at a library sale. I had heard of his other work "If Grace is True", and have been wanting to read it. So when I saw this laying on that table, I had to have it. And I'm very glad I found it. Reading this book was almost like finding someone had taken many of the different things I believe about religion and faith and had written them out for me - in a way I know I never could. Books like this mean a lot to me - someone who is often considered a "heretic" for coming to different conclusions than what is considered "mainstream" or "traditional". I think it's important for authors like Philip Gulley to show that there really *is* another way of looking at faith, a way that can be different while still being valid. Of course I agree with him completely on the various issues he mentions throughout this text. This is a side of Jesus, a side of Christianity, more people need to see. And since this book was written in a way that is so read so easily and quickly, it's something that anyone can read and consider, which I highly suggest. I loved this book, and I am certain I will recommend it to many. I'm also that much more certain that I can't wait to read his others, as well! :)
