Book Description
Dynamic speaker and author David Foster leads Christians to an untamed, unpredictable relationship with the ultimate renegade of all time--Jesus. Growing up, David Foster resented the self-righteousness found at churches whose missions centered on fear and guilt. He longed to be free--away from force-fed religion--but still follow Jesus. He considered himself a renegade, for God. A renegade resists being told what to do and how to think. That's why this is a guidebook, not a rulebook. Filled with firsthand discoveries that sometimes put Foster at odds with his peers, this book exposes myths and half-truths found in organized religion today. Foster boasts that "God loves you as you are, not as you ought to be," and shows an exciting Christian life does not have to be an oxymoron. He dares Christians to be what they were made to be--renegades for God.
