Description: The Barbarian Way: Unleash the Untamed Faith Within by Erwin Raphael McManus When the author came to Christ, he didn't know the rules of the "religious club."

Flap THE BARBARIAN WAY ERWIN RAPHAEL MCMANUS Erwin Raphael McManus wasnt raised in the Christian faith, so when he came to Christ as a college student, he didnt know the rules of the "religious club." All he knew was that something had been set on fire deep within his soul, a passion that longed to be unleashed. Since that day, he has not followed the road most traveled by many contemporary churchgoers. He has chosen the other-the less civilized one-following the path of Jesus in a passionate journey full of mystery, danger, and untamed faith. In The Barbarian Way, McManus calls you to return to the ancient, primal, and dangerous faith of Jesus and His early disciples. Let go of a sanitized Christianity and get back to the powerful, raw, and ancient faith that chooses revolution over compromise, peril over safety, and passion over lukewarm and watered-down religion. Christs passion drove Him to the cross; the cross of Christ drives you to His passion. Take up the challenge of the "barbarian way," and your life will never be the same. Author Biography Erwin R.
