Unburdened: Stop Living for Jesus So Jesus Can Live through You

by Vance Pitman

Overview

Does following Jesus feel impossible? Are you trying hard to be a good Christian while secretly feeling exhausted and overwhelmed?

Las Vegas pastor Vance Pitman spent almost a decade of his Christian journey trying hard to live the Christian life. For years he tried—and for years he failed miserably.

In Unburdened, Vance closely examines the life of Jesus in the Gospels to reveal the soul-awakening truths that have set him and many others free from the burden of religion. With raw honesty and real-life applications, he helps readers escape the exasperating cycle of trying to live for Jesus and shows them instead the power of discovering the joy of a love relationship with Jesus.

Whether you have been a Christian for days or decades, Unburdened will outline for you what following Jesus is all about: relationships.
