The years haven't been kind to Christianity. The way of life that Jesus lived and taught has been tainted by 2000 years of human influence. Today, many churches promote a Christianity that's as much (or more) manmade as God-made. What's seen on the surface often shows little resemblance to what Jesus created.

Jesus Christ created a masterpiece when He lived and taught what came to be called Christianity. Then, over the centuries, men splattered graffiti on that masterpiece, graffiti in the form of manmade rules, doctrines, beliefs, and traditions. Today, the manmade sometimes obscures the God-made to the point where, in some Christian circles, Jesus' masterpiece is barely visible.

Sensing that the Christianity he had been experiencing was influenced more by man than God, many years ago CJ Penn left church and stepped off on a journey in search of the masterpiece. This book is a record of what he found when he peered beneath the accumulated graffiti of the past 2000 years, graffiti painted by church history and human nature.

What CJ found confirmed his suspicions that, when we look on the surface of modern Christianity, we don't always see what Jesus lived and taught -- we don't always see the truth of Christianity and what it means to be Christian.

Is the Christianity you've experienced authentic Christianity, or has it been influenced more by man that God?

"A compelling read that challenges commonly held practices to uncover the true meaning of Christianity. It sounds a wake-up call for today's church."
- Peter DeHaan, author of Jesus's Broken Church

"Beneath the Graffiti, a De-churched Christians Search For Christianity is for those who have been turned off, or wounded by modern Christianity. It thoughtfully and effectively highlights the flaws in too much Christian doctrine. CJ peels back the layers and uncovers what is hidden beneath: Jesus' version."
- Rev. Dr. Sheri Pallas, author of We Have Ruined God, and host of live stream Fireside Creators.
