All those people are me. This book is my story.\" POOJA CHILUKURI\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd Then There Was Jesus is a story which demonstrates that a strict religious mindset simply does not work. It fails at the very thing it supposedly aims to do: bring people closer to God. On the contrary, it successfully drives a wedge between God and man by producing fear and guilt. A religious mindset compels us to lead a performance driven life of stress. Jesus compels us to rest in God's love and His finished work on the cross. Jesus brings the hope that rigid religious rules cannot give, the hope that you do not have to struggle to be approved by God. He is already deeply in love with you. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you have never been consumed by the overwhelming love of God, this book is for you. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pooja Chilukuri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780996242165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.29d","brand":"Pooja Chilukuri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36646923927708,"sku":"9780996242165","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0ca165fb-a6ad-4656-8894-307d6092389a.jpg?v=1603865553","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/and-then-there-was-jesus-9780996242165","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
