Reader Reviews:Have a go... (31/31 people found this helpful)I do find a lot of Christian books very hard to get into and a lot seem very dry and irrelevant. I actually picked up this book when I was in the States and found it extremely readable and interesting. He is basically trying to get back to the idea of Christianity as a relationship, rather than a rule book. His ideas that morality is the consequence of a relationship with God - and therefore is more of a betrayal in that relationship than the contravening of some rule book, was particularly key to the whole book. It was a good introduction too for those who may be attracted to Christ, but repelled by a lot of what they see in religion. There were flaws in it - there was a bit where his history wasn't quite right and there were a few things about his interpretation of the Bible that I thought a bit eccentric. But, even if you don't agree with everything he says, he holds to and explains the essence of the Christian faith in an effective and refreshing way and, the greatest compliment, I really wanted to read it.
