Jesus Christ created a masterpiece when He lived and taught what came to be called Christianity. Then, over the centuries, men splattered graffiti on Jesus' masterpiece, disfiguring it with their manmade rules, doctrines, beliefs, and traditions. Today the manmade often obscures the God-made to the point where Jesus' masterpiece is barely visible. Though Jesus and His Christianity remain vividly clear within the pages of the Bible, many churches continue to mar His image and corrupt His Christianity with their worldly ways and agendas. Therefore, what many people experience is not the Christianity that Jesus lived and taught. Sensing that the Christianity he had been experiencing was influenced more by man than God, many years ago CJ Penn left church and stepped off on a journey in search of the masterpiece. Like CJ, have you ever wondered about the authenticity of the Christianity you've experienced? Follow CJ Penn as he peers beneath the accumulated graffiti of church history and human nature, where you too can experience Jesus and His Christianity. And if you're one of the millions of people who feel God was missing from their experience of church, this book will show you where to find Him. ____________________________ "A compelling read that challenges commonly held practices to uncover the true meaning of Christianity. It sounds a wake-up call for today's church." - Peter DeHaan, author of Jesus's Broken Church
