Christian Books: Spirituality, Faith, & Religion

Religionships: Counterfeits to True Relationships with God and Those Made in His Image
by Peter & Paul Martial

"We were created to enjoy healthy relationships with God and others. Because of sin, we have become alienated from everyone. Religion is the means by which we initiate and regulate relationships. Yet, when we focus on the impersonal practice of religion instead of keeping our eyes on its purpose, we end up with "religionships." Religionships are dangerous because they rob us of the blessings and fulfillment of true relationships by never overcoming our alienation with God or others. The way we distinguish the genuine article from its counterfeit is to compare them. By looking at a true relationship's foundation (love), its ministry (consolation), its priority (satisfaction of the other), and its fruit (union), we come to a strong and healthy understanding of the relationships that God designed us for and the desires we enjoy with Him and those made in His image." -- Back Cover. more...

Philip Yancey

Reaching for the Invisible God
"One of the most approachable evangelical Christian writers acknowledges his struggles with faith, laments his considerable shortcomings, and vows to do better in what amounts to an intimate encounter with one man's faith. He relays many anecdotes, often culling them from his own experiences, and he shares the wisdom of fellow spiritual travelers, including C. S. Lewis, Kathleen Norris, and Martin Marty." --June Sawyers, Booklist. more...

The Jesus I Never Knew
"Yancey's search for the real Jesus collides with the calm, cool, collected, and "loving hippie" notions of Jesus he saw in modern American culture. Instead, he finds a Galilean Jew born into apparent scandal making the most daring of claims: that he is the Way, the Truth, and the Light [sic]." --Publisher's Comments. more...
