Description
Christian Nonfiction. Religion & Spirituality. Nonfiction. HTML:“This book makes a very important statement about how to live the Christian life. It takes the Christian beyond the obstacles and disappointments and, above all, beyond the age-old enemy of self straight into the arms of grace. Once there, the pressure is off. A real worthwhile read.”—FRANK RETIEF, Presiding Bishop, Church of England in South Africa
You can stop trying to get everything right.
Is the pressure getting to show more you? Do you try to make everything work, only to find that your best efforts are largely ineffective?
Christians have unknowingly embraced two errors: that following the rules guarantees a good life, and that God is important because He dispenses blessings. When God’s blessings seem to taper off and when life doesn’t work out, people take it upon themselves to make things work. And that creates pressure that we are all too familiar with.
In The Pressure’s Off, best-selling author and counselor Larry Crabb introduces you to the New Way of living. God does not guarantee ease or convenience—or even a good outcome as the result of your obedience. But he does promise himself, no matter what the circumstances of your life.
When you seek God and nothing else, the pressure truly is off you. show less

Excellent book. Larry opens up and tells his personal story. We need much more of this is the Christian community-- vulnerability-- transparent, without masks. Very encouraging.
