The book calls for a rude awakening for all the christians!!!
This unsettling book is a master book from Dr.Michael L.Brown, a Jewish believer in Yeshua (Jesus) and one of the foremost scholars on Jewish Apologetics. He challenges the christians of today to ask themselves what kind of born again experience they have had if it calls for almost no personal sacrifice, produces virtually no separaton from the world, and breeds practically no hatred of sin. For years, we have preached a defective message - and now we have a defective church. The book powerfully echoes the similar message that Pastor John MacArther has dealt with so strongly in his many books, particularly, "The Gospel according to Jesus" and "Ashamed of the Gospel".

Dr. Brown says that though salvation is by grace through faith and we can add nothing to it, yet it is the grace of God that teaches us to say 'NO' to ungodliness and wordly passions and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age (Titus 2:11-12). True faith is known by what it does, since faith without deeds is useless (James 2:20). Read this book and find out how saved we are. It is time for a rude awakening!

WOW! WE NEED THIS TO ROCK THE CHURCH
This book is WONDERFUL. Even if you think yourself to be godly and God fearing, you'll be rocked to your core with conviction; you'll be challenged to seek the beautiful face of our Savior and follow Him in a sacrificial and no-holds-barred way. You may think you're already doing this, but you'll be shocked. This book is truly a rude awakening and one we need so badly!

The American church is in such sad state. Rather than us changing the world, the world has changed and corrupted us and we're so deceived that we think little or nothing of it. We compare our actions to the world's actions and therefore think we're doing ok. Shouldn't we be comparing ourselves with the WORD OF GOD and seeing our need for repentance and godly living, rather than comparing ourselves with the enemies of God (James 4:4) as if that's some type of ruler that God would be pleased with? The church has been so [...] by so many worldly influences that it's no longer the church. We don't stand against sin as it might offend someone. We don't rebuke each other, because as some will say "we're judging." Do we even want to live godly in Christ Jesus or do we want to justify ourselves and be left alone to wallow in the mud?! When are we going to stand up for the Lord and boldly stand against the sin that He died for, regardless of what people think of us? When are we going to heed the warning in Ezekiel 3:16-21? Lord, may you help us to mimic the early Church and stand strong and bold for You, no matter the cost!

What has become the "I'm doing good for God" norm for the American Christian is what causes others around the world to come to us as a mission field--we're pathetic and need help! May God help us! Thank you Michael Brown for allowing the Lord to work so powerfully through you to give us these words of warning. It's been such a blessing for our family and I'm sure to every lover of God that reads it.
