The Performance Illusion

by Chap Clark

In The Performance Illusion. Chap Clark exposes our desire for acceptance as the driving force that leads us to perform. He takes an honest look at how performance theology affects our faith, and our most precious relationships - with our friends, our spouse, our children, and our God. Rather than settling for easy answers, Chap challenges us to start from the ground up. For only when we build our faith on the Biblical foundation of God's love are we able to leave our patterns of performance behind.
