    About this audiobook

    If you go to church and feel the same when you go out as you did when you went in, something is missing. That something may be relationship. So ...

    • If you do not understand the difference between religion and relationship
    • If your church experience leaves you feeling dissatisfied and empty
    • If you are not sure whether or not you have a relationship with God
    • If you want to have a relationship with God and don't know how
    • If you have a relationship with God and want it to be deeper
    • If any of this is tugging at your insides or raising your eyebrows or quickening your pulse

    ...this book is for you.

    Mary was raised in a very rigid, works-oriented religion which left her feeling afraid of God and not good enough for him. God, however, came after her and grabbed hold of her as an adult. During her ensuing faith journey she learned that many of the things she had been taught about him as she was growing up were simply not true. She learned that rather than giving people a set of rules and expectations, God is continually inviting people to enter into a personal relationship with him. When she said Yes! to that relationship she experienced an inner peace and joy unlike anything she had ever experienced before. She earnestly desires others to realize that When Religion Isn't Enough, saying Yes! to God's invitation will pave the way for them to experience that same peace and joy.

      In a lot of ways this book is about the author’s journey out of Catholicism, but at a more fundamental level it is her journey out of religion and into relationship.You can benefit from Ms. Detweiler’s story. Perhaps she can save you some time, trouble and heartache by getting to a real relationship or a deeper relationship with God sooner.This book revolves around the author’s story but she extensively adds in scriptures, Bible stories and quotes from other Christian authors.There is a clear presentation of the gospel, that is, that it is by faith in Jesus alone, nothing added.If you are confused by what it means to have a relationship with God or wondering if you have one or not this book is for you! Although it best addresses that, it also helps with deepening a relationship that you may already have with God.Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the author herself. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
