Product Description
Throughout the history of the world, religion has been a contentious concept. Battles have been launched, people killed, and judgments proclaimed all in the name of fervent beliefs. Even today, strife rages around the world as groups insist they represent Gods true intentions. But what if God himself has no interest in religion? Author Bruxy Cavey asserts that Christ came to earth not to create a new religion but to destroy the very idea. To permanently shatter every barrier that exists between God and people. To unite and not divide. In this book, Cavey shares that relationship has no room for religion. Believers and seekers alike will discover anew the wondrous promise found in our Savior. And Christs eternal call to walk in love and freedom will resonate with readers of all ages and denominations.

Simply Awesome,
This review is from: The Church Without Walls: Moving Beyond Traditional Boundaries (Paperback)
Initially I was hesitant to read this book, it challenged much of my thinking. But as I got deeper I realized that what I thought and felt about Christ and how the world painted things where actually very different. All the things that we know and hate or despise about religion is what Jesus also hated and sought to change. But we as humans have seek the mass benefits of controlling people through rules, rites and regulations found in religion and missed the real message. That of Jesus. It wasn't any specific people that put Jesus to Death but those threatened by the control they would lose if people followed what Jesus taught.I encourage anyone who has been put off by religion or thought that there should be a lot more love in the world to read this and do your own research. The answer is out there.

I have read the shortened (limited availability) version of this book, but enjoyed it so much that I've shared it with others and ordered the full length copy already.If you're seeking, curious, or more importantly skeptical of Christianity, you're promised one thing: this man does not approach things from a direction you may be expecting. I've had all the same hang-ups to religion that most people have, until I discovered that religion was the problem altogether. For too long religion has gotten in the way of faith...in fact, the one thing this book points out is that religion and Jesus shouldn't be used together in the same sentence. If there's any group of individuals that Christ was angry at and fought with, it was the religious rule makers, yet today he's too often treated as one of them. Bruxy Cavey no doubt loves the Lord passionately, but throws the doors open for discussion rather than debate, a mistake made by far too many these days. He is one of the greatest communicators I've ever read or heard. You can Download most of his talks at www.themeetinghouse.ca to get an idea of what I mean. He has changed the way I think, the way I read my bible, and the way I live my life. If you've ever questioned Christianity (true Christianity, not "touch the screen", smoke machine Christianity), I can't say it any clearer: THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!!

This review is from: The Church Without Walls: Moving Beyond Traditional Boundaries (Paperback)
My daughter, who this year graduated last spring from Huntington University as a family and youth ministry major, highly recommended the original edition of "The End of Religion" after hearing Bruxy Cavey speak on campus and reading the book herself. My wife and I read her copy when she was home for a weekend (it is a quick read) and ordered ten copies of the book for ourselves to share with family and friends. And recently reordered five more to do the same. Over the last year, those copies of "The End of Religion" have been passed along (and between) dozens of people and touched each one in their own way.For believers it has sparked a thought process of why in the "Americanized" church do we do things the way that we do? Or why do we do some of them at all? Are doing these religious things what Jesus wants for His church to be doing? For seekers it has opened-up Christianity to them in a way some have never seen or heard about it before. And for those of us that have struggled with religiosity and legalism in the church it provides a completely new view of our church family. The new, expanded version of "The End of Religion" promises to be as good as the original. And I doubt you will be dissapointed that you took the time to read it. You may not agree with everything in the book. But read it with an open mind, question what Bruxy Cavey says, and seek truth for yourself. I look forward to getting my copy of the new edition when it is available.
