In a world where churches are too often divided by politics, culture, and human traditions, From Religion to Relationship: Finding Jesus in a Divided Church calls readers back to the heart of the gospel-an intimate, living relationship with Christ.

Pastor Jose R. Perez shares both biblical truth and personal testimony to guide believers away from the empty weight of man-made religion and into the freedom of knowing Jesus for themselves. With clarity and compassion, he exposes the ways the Church has sometimes replaced authentic faith with ritual, tradition, or power, and he invites readers to rediscover the simple but profound call of Christ: "Follow Me."

This book is for those who feel disillusioned by the church yet still long for God. It is for seekers who crave more than surface religion, and for believers who want to deepen their walk with Christ beyond cultural Christianity. Through Scripture, reflection, and pastoral insight, Perez reminds us that God is not calling us to perform for Him but to walk with Him-honestly, humbly, and wholeheartedly.

From Religion to Relationship will inspire, challenge, and encourage you to leave behind a compartmentalized faith and embrace the joy of loving God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Whether you are weary from church politics, wounded by hypocrisy, or simply hungry for more of God, this book points you to the one place where hope is never lost-Jesus Christ Himself.
