Resumen del Editor

From a decade lived deeply in the chokehold of a legalistic community, Kendra Fletcher emerged to find healing, grace for herself, and a renewed faith that stood apart from the religious confines of her previous life in a rigid church community. Are you there, too, finding yourself leaving a legalistic or cult-like church and wondering what it all meant? Gasping for breath, hoping to find peace, looking to find your way after years of spiritual abuse and religion-driven shame? If it's your time to find freedom and healing, Leaving Legalism will serve as a guide to help you learn not only to separate religious behavior from true faith in Christ, but to emerge confident in the knowledge that you're already loved and accepted far beyond your wildest dreams. Begin your journey to healing as Kendra discusses: - Swinging the pendulum from law to grace - Why rules make us feel safe - How we all end up evangelizing a lifestyle - Our identity in Christ - How to let go of the past - How to learn to rest in what God has done for us - How to move forward (including how to apologize to your children) "I can’t think of a single book that addresses legalism in the same way as Leaving Legalism. This book is filled with grace, gospel, and countless arrows pointing the reader away from religious rule following and back to Jesus. Thank God for Kendra’s heart to help those on their journey from the burdensome life of legalism to the life-giving freedom of the cross. Jesus really is enough!" -Kimm Crandall, Author of Beloved Mess and Christ in the Chaos "Leaving Legalism is a book the modern church needs—a grace-filled, heart-nourishing volume you can read in an evening and apply for a lifetime. Kendra hits the balance perfectly, helping readers to shed the burden of legalism, stop trying to earn forgiveness, and learn to walk again as the children of a trusted and loving heavenly father." -Hal and Melanie Young, Authors of Raising Real Men "Kendra doesn’t just write from the heart, she writes from experience, and both spill out of the pages of Leaving Legalism. This book is filled with Kendra’s heart’s desire to see people freed from legalism and religiosity and all the damage both do in your life. She knows. She’s been there. This book is her way of walking along side you on the road to leaving legalism and finding real, lasting freedom in Christ." -Caroline Howard, Certified Life Breakthrough Coach

Grace

I just signed up for Audible and decided to listen to this book while riding home from work. It very much affirmed what I've been learning to grow in my life: God's grace. For those leaving or who have left legalistic church organizations, this is a solid read.
