Do you find yourself doubting God and weary of religion? Are you tired of the confusing answers, the hypocrisy, and the feeling that God isn’t enough? If so, you’re not alone.

Like many believers, author and pastor Zach Maldonado experienced the same disappointment with Christianity. He asked questions—about God, about Jesus, about himself—that he didn’t have answers for. Yet, despite all this, something sparked his passion for Jesus and compelled him to devote his life to sharing a simple message.

This message is not dead theology. It’s not rule-keeping or a pep talk to be more radical. Instead, it’s an invitation to a relationship that’s free from to-do lists, shame, and legalism.

Jesus Is Better offers answers to the most difficult questions about Christianity, as well as hope for the weary believer, the distant skeptic, and those who desire to leave religion behind and embrace the God who not only loves them without condition, but actually likes and enjoys who they are. Through it you’ll rediscover Jesus in a fresh new way that will completely change your life.

She was a nun of noble birth. He was a heretic, a reformer, and an outlaw of the Holy Roman Empire.

In the 16th century, nun Katharina von Bora’s fate fell no further than the Abbey. Until she read the writings of Martin Luther. His sweeping Catholic church reformation—condemning a cloistered life and promoting the goodness of marriage—awakened her desire for everything she’d been forbidden. Including Martin Luther himself.

Despite the fact that the attraction and tension between them is undeniable, Luther holds fast to his convictions and remains isolated, refusing to risk anyone’s life but his own. And Katharina longs for love, but is strong-willed. She clings proudly to her class distinction, pining for nobility over the heart of a reformer. They couldn’t be more different.

But as the world comes tumbling down around them, and with Luther’s threatened life a constant strain, these unlikely allies forge an unexpected bond of understanding, support and love. Together, they will alter the religious landscape forever.
