This Thing Called Christianity: A Dance of Mystery, Grace, and Beauty

by Jefferson Bethke

Bestselling author and speaker Jefferson Bethke tears back the worn canvas of religiosity, lets an unsalvageable, phony frame of distractions fall away, and unfolds for the reader the breathtaking mystery, meaning, worth, and value of the Christian faith. Based on his bestselling book It’s Not What You Think , Jefferson Bethke takes you on a journey from the creation of the universe in Genesis to the great feast of celebration in Revelation. Reexamining Christianity from the very beginning as revealed in the Bible, Bethke discovers a story far more beautiful and compelling than the one most Christians are telling today. Instead of rescuing us from the world, God wants us to be part of his plan to restore the world. The story of Christianity is, therefore, about becoming more alive and more fully human by following the one human who was also God in flesh, Jesus.

Discussed different parts of Christianity and how to implement it in daily life. Gave different perspective on sabbath-to do something fulfilling instead of isolation. I liked how he Broke down spiritual disciplines in layman’s terms

All about relationship. A rich wealth of knowledge that tugs at the heart and reminds us how Jesus loves His people.
