From Religion To Christ
Two thousand years ago, under the cover of a dark night, a gray-haired Jewish Rabbi approached a much younger man to inquire about matter that were deeply troubling him. That conversation, between Nicodemus and Jesus of Nazareth, is the subject of this book. The author is concerned about millions of people who are in the same position today that Nicodemus found himself in-religious, but not redeemed by God. A careful and prayerful reading of this book can be used of God to open the eyes of many to see clearly that their religion is empty and vain, but salvation can and will be found in Jesus Christ alone.

Peter Jeffrey was a Welsh pastor known around the world for his prolific writing on eveangelical issues and the care of new believers.
______________
While the world runs into a frenzy of producing religions and self-paved salvation, Pastor Jeffery takes a classic approach by conducting a survey in the book of John chapter 3 verses 1-21 where Jesus Christ affirms an indictment for depraved humanity in front of God and His righteous judgment to sinners as well as God's initiated redemption through believing His Son and being born again of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Jeffery challenges the reader to reexamine their position, which is originally based on their preconceived belief, of dismissing the full account of the Bible and take a serious consideration of their eternity. Verse by verse, keyword by keyword, Pastor Jeffery debunks the misconceptions regarding the way of salvation with his spiritual understanding and wisdom. A thin book yet profound, explanatory, and coherent that answers the most important question of humanity. Bible references are included to enhance the argument. As the introduction states, "He (Peter Jeffery) is deeply concerned that the world is filled with multitudes of people who are religious but not redeemed. He has written very simply so you will understand", this book is a must read for every sincere seeker.On the other hand, I appreciated how Pastor Jeffery entitled his book. In an age of confusion and autonomy, like our present one, where there is no sound or true knowledge about the word "religion", he sensibly directs our attention to Christ Himself (in lieu of Christianity) and consequently, leaves no room for unwarranted disputes.
