Despite the title, McBrayer’s book is not about leaving religion,
rather it is about going beyond religion as we frequently have been taught
it. The author provides a deep examination of Jesus' life and teachings,
revealing to us the underlying messages, the insistent focus on love and
justice rather than the "rules" of organized religion. It is, in
effect, a guide to applying the real lessons of Jesus' life to our own lives. – James A. Autry, Author of Looking
Around for God
