About this ebook

Have you lost your joy?

Do you feel like you have to prove yourself? Does your Christian life feel routine and performance oriented, driven by duty and obligation?

The letter of Galatians was written to Christians who had lost their joy— confronted with false messages about rules and regulations they needed to follow.
