The gospel of God's grace announces nothing less than the abolition of religion. But we have taken a supernatural message and turned it into a mere natural one, and the result is a spiritually immature church that sees strength primarily in natural terms, and church growth as being about congregation sizes and resources rather than revelation. When the glitter of religious performance, what we can achieve for God is peddled in the church as real gold for long enough, then we raise a generation of believers who know how to do things for God, but not how to be the children of a joyful father! We raise a nation of holy orphans who, not knowing their father's righteousness as their spiritual DNA, live constantly trying to prove their parentage through their performance. The result is a church so sin-conscious and self-conscious, that she is like a bride who has fearfully buried the likeness of her father beneath layers of makeup. In this book, the author begins to peel back that makeup to reveal the simple beauty of the gospel: Christ in us.

This is an amazing book about the true character and love of God. It explains who God really is now and who He always was. He is a Father who so deeply loves His children and gave everything to be with them forever! It is the greatest love story ever told!

I think this is one of the most important books I’ve ever read. It’s so gospel centered and full of love and truth very scriptural and I love how we highlights a proper understanding of Grace and the new covenant. I truly hope everyone reads this book.
