Publisher's Synopsis
In both the Christian and Jewish faiths, the person who says we should "do less" is often labeled a "comfort seeker." Despite our best efforts to teach the grace of God and the relational focus of our spirituality, we often fall back into the trap of believing our good deeds will somehow win us God's favor. The Scriptures tell us that all our righteous doing is like used tampons (Yeshayahu/Isaiah 64:6). Why then do we persist in the pursuit of works above faith? DO LESS BE MORE examines the unity of faith and works within the context and mystery of being. From both theological and philosophical points of reference, Yaakov Ben Yehoshua expounds upon the central theme of Messianic faith, concluding that being with God is not the same as being in Him.
