The Utter Relief of Holiness: How God's Goodness Frees Us from Everything that Plagues Us
"Ever full of gusto and nerve, Eldredge is as strict and orthodox a pastor as A.W. Tozer, but with hiking boots and a zipline."—Publisher's Weekly"Eldredge  uses his playful style to uncover the truth about who Jesus really was. With an eyebrow-raising warning about the "poison of religion," he urges readers to turn from religious power displays and legalism and instead spend time falling in love with the man, Jesus. Eldredge repeats tales from the Gospels to reveal a leader who was both humorous and confrontational, generous and moody. Eldredge clearly loves his subject, almost chuckling in delight at Jesus' antics. Readers get an intriguing glimpse of Jesus waiting his turn in line, "snorting" in anger, and artfully outsmarting his enemies. ... Still, readers will find a three-dimensional Jesus and may find themselves re-reading scripture with an eye on characters' feelings."—Publishers Weekly, onBeautiful Outlaw"Eldredge's trademark passion and personal transparency offer another inspiring challenge that could revolutionize lives as did hisWild at Heart."—Christian Retailing, onBeautiful Outlaw, Editor's Pick"Eldredge's trademark passion and personal transparency offer another inspiring challenge that could revolutionize lives as did hisWild at Heart."—Christian Retailing, onBeautiful Outlaw"The Eldredges' newest book has bestseller written all over it...They are honest and forthright, never skirting a difficult issue; instead, they offer hope, insight, and their own lives as examples of what God can accomplish.
