The Easy YokeIn the effort to make Christianity more appealing and easier to accept, we often make it more difficult. This book takes a close look at the Sermon on the Mount and Jesus' powerful call to both bear the cross and live under the yoke. The easy yoke is neither cheap nor convenient, but it will free us from meritorious, performance-based religion, and allow us to live as God intended. |
