“Brilliant and at times funny, Erlandson emphasizes truths over supposed ‘facts’ when interpreting the Bible. Using story as metaphor, he crafts a radical theology that is simple, deeply powerful, and long overdue. An absolute must-read for seekers of relevant spirituality in today’s religion-charged culture.”       —Dr. James Bland—PhD (Harvard University), Author and Professor.

“He has successfully placed before us a ‘working book’ that, while wonderfully written and easily read, also begs you to underline scores of ‘make-sense’ insights and then tab the page so you can find them again.”                                                   —Dr. David Fenrick—Center for Global Education, Augsburg College, Minneapolis, MN

Over 120 million people in America believe in God in some way, but are not active members of any organized religion. Erlandson articulates the growing frustration many people have with Christianity. He simultaneously shows how it is possible even for those who don’t go to church to create a challenging and life-changing new path based on one of the world’s great wisdom texts – the Bible – and rooted in its simple call to love God and thy neighbor.
