Abandon dead, dry, religious rule-keeping and embrace the promise of being truly known and deeply loved. Jefferson Bethke burst into the cultural conversation with a passionate, provocative poem titled "Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus." The 4-minute video became an overnight sensation, with 7 million YouTube views in its first 48 hours (and 23+ million in a year). Bethke's message clearly struck a chord with believers and nonbelievers alike, triggering an avalanche of responses running the gamut from encouraged to enraged. In his New York Times bestseller Jesus > Religion, Bethke unpacks similar contrasts that he drew in the poem--highlighting the difference between teeth gritting and grace, law and love, performance and peace, despair, and hope. With refreshing candor, he delves into the motivation behind his message, beginning with the unvarnished tale of his own plunge from the pinnacle of a works-based, fake-smile existence that sapped his strength and led him down a path of destructive behavior. Along the way, Bethke gives you the tools you need to: Humbly and prayerfully open your mind Understand Jesus for all that he is View the church from a brand-new perspective Bethke is quick to acknowledge that he's not a pastor or theologian, but simply an ordinary, twenty-something who cried out for a life greater than the one for which he had settled. On this journey, Bethke discovered the real Jesus, who beckoned him with love beyond the props of false religion. Praise for Jesus > Religion: "Jeff's book will make you stop and listen to a voice in your heart that may have been drowned out by the noise of religion. Listen to that voice, then follow it--right to the feet of Jesus." --Bob Goff, author of New York Times bestsellers Love Does and Everybody, Always "The book you hold in your hands is Donald Miller's Blue Like Jazz meets C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity meets Augustine's Confessions. This book is going to awaken an entire generation to Jesus and His grace." --Derwin L. Gray, lead pastor of Transformation Church, author of Limitless Life: Breaking Free from the Labels That Hold You Back

Billy Graham shares God's gentle, reassuring promise of spiritual calm and authentic peace in a world falling apart at the seams. In a culture that values "quality of life" and personal happiness above all else, why are so many of us unhappy, anxious, lonely, on the brink of despair? Why do so many of us feel empty, even though we live surrounded by plenty? In Peace with God, Reverend Graham takes you on a great quest to find the answers to life's purpose. Along the way, he answers essential questions to understanding the true hope at the foundation of the Christian faith—questions like: What is God like? Why did Jesus come? What is repentance? How can I be sure of salvation? How should a Christian live? "God's peace can be in your heart—right now . . .Whatever the circumstances, whatever the call, whatever the duty, whatever the price, whatever the sacrifice—His strength will be your strength in your hour of need. It's all yours, and it's free." Peace with God is a timeless message of hope for all those struggling with despair and loneliness. Billy Graham will beckon you on the path to lasting peace as he describes the basics of the biblical message, the problem of sin, the tenets of the Christian way of life, and the glorious hope for the future.

As a young man in fourteenth century Spain, Guaril de Vega struggles with his commitment to family and desiring the status that is rightfully his by way of birth but is unattainable because of a secret his family conceals. Upon his return from university, de Vega falls in love with the daughter of an ambitious politician, only to find that Viscount de Leon of Barcelona has already spoken to her father for the betrothal to his son. With an animosity nurtured from childhood, a jealous hatred soon develops between de Vega and de Leon, which culminates with a duel, with de Vega the vic-tor. De Vega flees Barcelona fearing for his life and finds himself one step ahead of the Black Plague. Desperate for food and shelter, he comes across a priory in the Village of Newstead. Here he finds solace for his broken heart and a new vocation. After several decades, de Vega, now Broth-er John, is confronted with his past and once again finds himself torn, this time between the love of family and his church. After hearing of the death of his father and his brother's imprisonment, Brother John returns to Spain in a desperate attempt to free his brother. However, his plan is thwarted, when he comes face-to-face with a maniacal tyrant, whose brand of reform by way of the inquisition forces John to confront his decision for becoming a priest. Accused of heresy and being an enemy of Christ, John is imprisoned and tortured, only to be released to finish a three-decade-old feud and to be reunited with the only woman he has ever loved.
