How to be a Christian Without Being Religious

Since the days of the early church Christians have struggled to find a way to be good--to please God by their own efforts. They end up carrying a burden God never intended them to bear. And what''s more their brand of Christianity ends up looking like any other religion of the world--bound by joyless rules and rituals. Fritz Ridenour''s study of the book of Romans provides an antidote to the pharisaical spirit and shows that Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. It is not people reaching up but God reaching down. All Christians can enjoy their birthright when they realize who they are in Christ. The result is a life full of hope joy power and potential.
