Boyd writes simply and clearly, making his ideas accessible to nonacademic readers.

Apply the practical suggestions. See the results.Embrace the 'holy habit' of inviting God's presence into your life and experience true spiritual transformation.

 

Blogger Guy’s Thoughts:
This is a very hands on and practical book that will help you find God in the ‘now’, the every moment of every day. Finding God in every moment will help you connect with Him and experience God in a whole new light. When we find God we can put ourselves aside and focus on what matters. And at that point God promises that we will gain everything. I had to pause for a number of days after reading the first couple of chapters so that it could sink in and really take root. You can also find a number of helpful resources at www.whchurch.org that will explain this more fully.

Repenting From Religion - Turning from Judgment to the Love of God

Product Description

We human beings are burdened by our tendencies to harshly judge others and ourselves. Unfortunately for believers, this bent is as prevalent in the church as in the world. Pastor and author Gregory A. Boyd calls readers to a higher standard through understanding the true manner in which God views humanity: as infinitely worthwhile and lovable. Only an attitude shift in how we perceive ourselves in light of God's love can impact how we relate to people and transform our judgmental nature. Believers wrestling with the reality of God's love and Christians struggling with judging in the local church will appreciate this examination of how we move from a self-centered to a Christ-centered life.

Blogger Guy’s Thoughts:

Repenting of Religion is a wonderful book that has many challenging aspects. Overcoming our need to judge others and be able to start seeing them how God sees them is tough. God sees people as infinitely valuable and worth dying for. He see them as having value for so much and longs to be in a personal relationship with each of them.

If you don’t want to be challenged, this book isn’t for you. If you aren’t open to change, then this book isn’t for you. If you want to grow in love towards others, relive stress in your life from judging other people and constantly evaluating what others are doing, then book IS FOR YOU!

books, books and more books

I have a whole shelf in my office with books that I want to read. Some of them are fun personal reading, others are spiritual reading and others are business and the other stack is learning. There are so many books that I want to read that I find myself finding it a real luxury to have time to sit down with a good book. I suppose those people that have time to read each day have their life structured with less distractions and diversions than I have allowed in my life. I know that TV takes time that I could use to read.
