Religion: people love it, hate it, and debate it. This book isn't really about religion as much as it is about distinguishing the Jesus of the Bible from religion and our spiritual mindsets.Shattering the Stained Glass Jesus presents the possibility of a fresh, meaningful relationship with Christ that is based upon the Bible itself, and not our spiritual experiences or what we think the Bible teaches.Christian religious systems often cloud Jesus Christ and his teachings by binding concepts like "church," "religion," and "Jesus" so tightly together that many can't separate the person of Jesus Christ, from pious, ritualistic, Sunday routines. The result? When spiritual leaders let us down, God seems to fail.Others become bored with religious routines or see through religious hypocrisy, and look for meaning elsewhere.God always answers a sincere heart that is seeking him. For others, he deploys dramatic circumstances to get our attention. For example, as the apostle Paul strictly followed his Judaic traditions and beliefs early in the first century, he believed he was doing God a favor by persecuting Christians. The resurrected Jesus Christ confronted Saul, spoke with him, and temporarily blinded him. God converted a staunch Jewish leader into a zealous Christian we would come to know as the Apostle Paul who penned more of the New Testament than any other biblical writer.The Holy Spirit, writing though Paul, encouraged independent study of the Bible. Paul commended the Bereans in Acts 17:11 because they compared biblical teachings with the scriptures themselves.Many religions and denominations create caricatures of Christ that distort Jesus and try to convert him into someone they want him to be, instead of presenting him as the authentic, miraculous, Jesus Christ of history.Shattering the Stained Glass Jesus presents a unique opportunity to understand what the Bible teaches about salvation, truth, and deception. Unknown to many professing Christians, there are unique qualities that separate the Bible from any other spiritual writings. In three pages, you'll have an opportunity to test how much your beliefs about the Bible may have drifted from the truth. Are you ready for a fresh revelation of the God of the Bible?

Finalmente fue capturado y condenado a muerte. Aunque se le ofreció el perdón y la conservación de su grado si se pasaba a los republicanos, fiel a sus ideales escogió la lealtad a España.
