Authentic Christianity: Why it Matters for Followers of Jesus

As a follower of Jesus, you value honest and transparent relationships with others. Yet you continue to discover that these characteristics seem to be rare within Christian churches. It doesn't help the matter that a culture of detached professionalism pervades, not only in the contemporary workforce, but within these same Christian communities. Because of this, Christians are not widely known for authenticity. You may even feel stifled in the congregation you've been part of for years-and you wouldn't be the only one. When silence permeates a church, the domino effect can topple the members' ability to truly relate to and understand one another. Yet the path of Jesus offers lessons in authenticity that are still relevant to his followers today. Authentic Christianity examines what Christ's life tells us about living authentically and explores cultural reasons for our inability to flourish in this area. This book demonstrates that you don't have to choose between being a Christian and being an authentic human being. Following Jesus will lead you on a risky but meaningful (even necessary) path that faces and engages with our common need for authenticity and authentic relationships with others.
