Description
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 man reaching up, but God reaching down. Every Christian can enjoy his or her birthright when they realize who they are in Christ. The result is a life full of hope, joy, power and potential.

This book presents the true meaning of being a Christian. It's not about rites, rituals, and rhetoric. It's about embracing the gift of a Savior who freely gave himself for others. All the rest is organizational hooplah.

this was a good book, a good study of Romans and even though written quite a few years ago a lot of it is still valuable today.
