The Pharisee within Me: My Journey from Legalism to Grace

The Pharisees were passionate about being faithful to God, but they became misguided. The author shares his unsettling discovery of twelve pharisaic tendencies in his own life, which are also common in Christianity today. He shows that those of us who are most passionate about following God faithfully are the most vulnerable to the Pharisees’ errors. These problems hinder our journey into grace and intimacy with Christ. They cause unbelievers to distrust us and become disillusioned with Christianity. The author looks into the mirror of Scripture to help us identify and overcome these errors, grow deeper in our relationship with Christ, and nurture a faith that becomes contagious to others around us. This book includes practical insights into personal spiritual development as well as ministry. It helps to distinguish between church problems and real Christianity as Jesus intended it to be. Includes study guide, discussion questions, and journal pages for personal or small group use.
