We look to human means to find relief from life’s troubles. But the human means often aren’t enough. Some people look to Christianity. But modern forms of Christianity also prove themselves often ill-equipped to help us cope. However, what modern Christianity lacks can be found in real Christianity, Jesus’ Christianity, the way of life that Jesus lived and taught.

Jesus Christ created a masterpiece when He lived and taught what came to be called Christianity. Then, over the centuries, churches splattered graffiti on Jesus’ masterpiece, graffiti in the form of manmade rules and traditions, beliefs and doctrines, priorities and purposes. As a result, what many people experience is not the Christianity that Jesus lived and taught. But would you like to experience the real thing, untainted by 2000 years of human influence?

Sensing that the Christianity he had been experiencing was influenced more by man than God, many years ago CJ Penn left church and stepped off on a journey in search of the masterpiece. This book is a record of what he found when he peered beneath the accumulated graffiti of the past 2000 years. Scraping off that graffiti, this book reveals the authentic Christianity of the Bible, unspoiled by church history and human nature. It reveals the masterpiece.

But more than that, within the pages of this book you will find:

• Where a church may introduce you to Jesus, this book will help you get to know And in following Jesus, you will find understanding, comfort, peace, and relief.
• Jesus’ Christianity isn’t about a relationship with a church, but a relationship with God.
• Where our faith in Jesus assures our eternal life in heaven, our relationship with His Spirit will determine the quality of our life while still on earth.
• Where manmade versions of Christianity sometimes inflict wounds, Jesus’ Christianity heals wounds.
• And you will find certainty in your salvation.

Whether you’re a devout churchgoer, a church refugee, or a curious non-Christian, this and much more waits for you beneath the graffiti.
