description: Since the days of the Early Church Christians have struggled to find a way to be 'good'-to please God by their own efforts. They end up carrying a burden God never intended them to bear. And what's more their brand of Christianity ends up looking like any other religion of the world-bound by joyless rules and rituals. Fritz Ridenour's study of the book of Romans provides an antidote to the pharisaical spirit and shows that Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. It is not man reaching up but God reaching down. Every Christian can enjoy his or her birthright when they realize who they are in Christ. The result is a life full of hope joy power and potential.
