The End of Religion Study Companion: Encountering the Subversive Spirituality of Jesus

by Bruxy Cavey

Overview

Sick of religion? So was Jesus.

Around the world a movement is growing. People are waking up to the spiritual beauty of the teachings of Jesus while rejecting the many ugly aspects of the religion that bears his name. If you are among those who are disappointed with religion yet are still strangely pulled toward spirituality, author Bruxy Cavey will help you make sense of it all.

Join Cavey in an exploration of how twenty-first-century people can live into the subversive spirituality of a first-century radical and discover what the Bible claims is the world God originally intended and still desires: a world without religion.

The End of Religion Study Guide will help you and your group unpack Cavey’s teachings in The End of Religion to help you understand, discuss, and live into the subversive spirituality of Jesus.
