Breaking the Bondage of Legalism: When Trying Harder Isn't Enough

Neil Anderson (author of the bestselling The Bondage Breaker™) and his coauthors expose the trauma of legalism--and show how Christ liberates us from trying to be "good enough for God."

According to a recent poll, 57 percent of Christians strongly agree the Christian life is well summed-up as "trying hard to do what God commands." But biblically, making laws our "lord" estranges us from Christ! The authors reveal...

• the chains of legalism: shame, guilt, pride
• the keys to liberty: knowing who we are in Christ, resting in the Father's love
• the life of freedom: joyful friendship with God, obedience viewed properly

Here's encouragement for defeated believers--and an appeal to the church to be free in Christ.
