If you've grown weary or disillusioned from trying to please God by practicing religion and all its rules, then you will be happy to hear that you can stop trying. Drawing from his many experiences as a longtime Christian who wanted more out of life than following man's ways, music minister Jim Eschenbacher identifies empty religious practices and then encourages readers to experience God as He intended to be experienced-in relationship. Jesus said He is the way, the truth, and the life and that no man comes to the Father except through Him. Divided into three sections that outline what Jesus said, Eschenbacher takes a critical look at the way modernday Christianity views foundational doctrines such as salvation, the cross, and worship, and compares them to the Bible. You might be surprised by what he reveals-so much so that you'll be freed from religious patterns that threaten to weigh you down. Don't settle for man-made religion. Instead, experience the abundant life Jesus promised. "Righting Pisa is everything a book should be--brilliantly written, challenging, humble and humbling, and a 'wake up call' for the slumbering Church and the stagnant Christian. Eschenbacher has helped me to taste the goodness of salvation once again, experience faith through fresh eyes, and enter into worship with renewed hunger and passion. I invite you to do the same." -Simon Presland, pastor, author, ghostwriter, and editor.
