Synopsis
Preface
This book is all about the difference between practicing religion versus living a personal relationship with God. Most people get the two confused or don't even know it's possible to have a relationship with God.
This book charts the author's story as an adopted cradle Roman Catholic who attended parochial grade and high schools in western Washington and who was dissatisfied with the state of his religious experiences. Throughout his journey, the author tells how he shifted from "doing the stuff" religion mandates to living a daily faith walk with God. This book compares Catholic tradition and spiritual practices such as indulgences, the rosary and the Mass with Biblical scripture and what faith and works really mean.
Ther are nearly 500 scriptural quotes to support the author's positions. Some of those positions will likely surprise both Catholics and Protestant Christians.
The author also tells how he came by the nickname, "Speedy".

Review
"This is a great read for Catholics, Protestants and non-Christians alike because of the wealth of scripture in presenting the gospel message." --Dewey Wilmot, Associate pastor Cornerstone Assembly of God, Idaho Falls, Idaho.
Nothing beats the authenticity and depth of passion that flows from a personal journey. The Shift shares a story that I believe will inspire and connect with Christians, Catholics and skeptics. Knowing Jesus is about more than a religion, it's about a relationship, and The Shift reminds us of that fact.-- Jon Cobler, lead teaching pastor Church of Living Water, Olympia, Washington
"Johnson presents an honest and Biblical case for moving from religion to relationship. His open and vulnerable sharing challenge believers from any background to examine their faith for life and an authentic connection with Jesus." - Pastor of Discipleship Kelly Schmidt, Church of Living Water, Olympia, Wash.
