It is important to recognize that \u003ci\u003eJesus neither started nor desired to establish a new religion\u003c\/i\u003e. He was a devout Jew to the end. The life and teachings of Jesus model a conscious communion with God that is applicable within \u003ci\u003eany \u003c\/i\u003ereligious belief system, including \u003ci\u003eno \u003c\/i\u003eformal belief system. His was a \u003ci\u003eway of living \u003c\/i\u003eeveryday life\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ein better alignment with God - thus, \u003ci\u003eThe Way\u003c\/i\u003e. His message was for \u003ci\u003eall \u003c\/i\u003epeople, regardless of their religion. The Christianity that must eventually be crucified, that we must mature beyond, is the Christianity that has devolved into a philosophy, institution, culture, and\/or business that leaves us living life out of alignment with God. While I am \u003ci\u003enot \u003c\/i\u003esuggesting religious institutions be destroyed, those who are serious about spiritual development will eventually find themselves searching outside of \u003ci\u003eany \u003c\/i\u003especific system of organized belief in order to better discern their path. \u003ci\u003eCrucifying Christianity, Resurrecting the Way \u003c\/i\u003ewill help one begin that journey of transformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Hildenbrand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798251171815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Greg Hildenbrand","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997531812095,"sku":"9798251171815","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crucifying-christianity-resurrecting-the-way-greg-hildenbrand-9798251171815","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
