A waste of a great title

The title notwithstanding, this book doesn't really say all that much about Jesus. Nor does it say anything critical about religion per se, or why it might be good to have less of it. Instead, the book attempts to describe the authors' idea of a healthy faith; and each of the book's 16 chapters is subtitled "A Healthy Faith Is... [Balanced, Loving, Respectful of Others, etc.]"

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this book started out as a series of sermons. Each chapter reads like a sermon given in a friendly evangelical church: inspiring, encouraging, with nothing too deep or challenging or complicated or critical. As to the intended audience, the authors mention Chuck Swindoll as though they expect readers to know who he is. In fact, the book is reminiscent of Swindoll, and fans of Swindoll should find this book right up their alley. Others may or may not find it helpful, depending on where they're coming from and where they are in their spiritual lives.

Great book for a balanced Biblical Faith

I got this book to help me as i worked through a very trying time in my walk with God. As I read, I began to realize that though outwardly I looked like a great christian, inside I was very confused about my idea of who God was and how he related to me. I belive that the health of any Christian is dependant on his/her understanding of God, and mine had a lot of holes in it. This book has been very helpful in helping me confront a lot of painful misunderstandings I have had about God, and i fully recommend it to anyone who is struggling in thier faith or just feel that their faith is bringing more opression to their lives than freedom.

Great Book!!

I haven't read many books, but I beleive this is a great book. I have only been a dedicated christian for 2 years, and within that time I have met many people who claim to be christians, but are more wrapped up in religion than they are Christ. This book gives a good insight into modern day pharissies. It has helped me close some doors about some questions I had about certain people. It's all about Jesus, what he did, and how he loves us unconditionaly. He expects us to do the same. Love him and others as yourself. If you focus on these two commandments you will produce more fruit in your life than you ever could have imagined.

An interesting book...

The book More Jesus Less Religion is a pretty good book. Its not the best book, as some of what is being said has been said before in several other books I've read. Still the authors give their own opinion and their own struggles (and stories of the struggles of others) as examples. By this the reader is able to be more personable with the authors and what the authors want to express on their own journeys.

The book also has a firm foundation of the Bible, there are many references and quotes from the Bible that are used correctly. I appreciate this I was kinda unsure if I wanted to read this book at first as I was a bit weary thinking this was one of those liberal Christians (who aren't really Christians) and Jesus Seminar kind of writings. Luckily for me it wasn't and it was a true spirited Jesus believer sort of book.

Its one of many books out there, its not something that I will say "You have to read" but still it is a good book. Nothing new, but still well written and well developed thoughts on being a Christian.
