With a refreshing, simple voice Jefferson Behke confesses the story of a regular, twenty-something who exchanged his empty, self-righteousness for a deep, meaningful and life giving relationship with Jesus himself. This book, he hopes, will help to do the same for you.

In Jesus is Greater than Religion, the author opens a new cultural conversation with a follow up to his provocative poem: “Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus” - the 4-minute video became an overnight sensation, with 7 million YouTube views in its first 48 hours (and 23+ million in a year).

This is the message the world was waiting for and boosted by social-media it triggered a landslide of response that encouraged and enraged in equal amounts. In Jesus > Religion, Bethke explores the motivation behind his message, beginning with the confession of his own plunge from the pinnacle of a works-based, fake-smile existence down a path of destructive behaviour.

The author invites you to abandon your soulless approach to the dry, loveless rule-keeping of ‘religion’ and embrace the passion and promise of loving and being loved – by Jesus.
