The Shift: Moving from religion to relationship

Preface




This book is all about  the difference between practicing religion versus living a personal relationship with God. Most people get the two confused or don't even know it's possible to have a relationship with God. 

This book charts the author's story as an adopted cradle Roman Catholic who attended parochial grade and high schools in western Washington and who was dissatisfied with the state of his religious experiences.  Throughout his journey, the author tells how he shifted from "doing the stuff" religion mandates to living a daily faith walk with God. This book compares Catholic tradition and spiritual practices such as indulgences, the rosary and the Mass with Biblical scripture and what faith and works really mean.

Ther are nearly 500 scriptural quotes to support the author's positions.  Some of those positions will likely surprise both Catholics and Protestant Christians.
The author also tells how he came by the nickname, "Speedy".
