- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5this is a great book. for a time in my faith, I'd struggled with the person of Jesus. honestly I struggled with the whole religion because I had this nagging feeling at the back of my neck that well, aren't there other religions? what makes Christ special? couldn't I get to God in Islam or Buddhism as well? this book opened my eyes to a true picture of God. and without a doubt, I now know that Jesus is the way to God. no religion leads to God, not even the Christian religion. God leads to God. and for this reason we have Jesus. in no other scripture in any other religion or sacred writing is it documented that God came to live among us and be the way for us to follow to himself.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I debated for a long time over whether to start or end with my criticism and finally decided I'd do both. Likes: Bruxy Cavey is passionate about wanting people to catch a fire-breathing dragon of a relationship with Jesus. He's also a great communicator.Dislikes: The title and every reference in the book towards it. It should have been the end of (legalistic or idolatrous) religion. The argument is draining at best and condescending at the worst. Lastly, the rhetoric of religion he tries to redeem near the end of the book falls flat because of constant hammering. I know religion gets a bad wrap but if the practices you are describing look and quack like a duck of religion.... then it's a religion.Putting it together: I get where he's heading and coming from. I'm of like mind and Cavey has some exquisite gems. One part in particular is the way we've been idolatrous and legalistic to our religious denomination to the point of strangling the gospel from those that desperately need to hear and see it lived out today. One need not look further than the way the so-called "orthodox" Methodist Christians have decimated The United Methodist Church. They spent several years creating district and dissension to win the fight for a more legalistic and constraining representation and then when their side won at General Conference decided it wasn't enough.Recommended for anyone wanting to break away from the legalistic and idolatrous hold your denomination may or may not have on you and for anyone stuck in a tribal religious stronghold.**This was a review copy provided of the updated version by NetGalley for an honest review**
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is clearly written for seekers, non-believers, and those who are disenfranchised with institutionalized religion. But, there is a caveat. It is also written for Christians who have institutionalized their brand of Christianity. Who have relinquished their faith to the status quo rather than the radical counter-cultural teachings of Jesus Christ. For those who have made a life in Christ... a religion.Cavey gets right to the point and gouges at the very core of what is wrong with Christianity... yesterday and today. In the latter half of the book he uses Scripture to show how Jesus demolished religion. Very well written, succinct, and relevant to a post-modern generation. Warning: If you are a fundamentalist of any religion, you won't like this book.
