WOW! what a 'soul-opener'
If there is one book I would recommend a Christian should (must) read it is this book by Forsyth.

I have quite a collection of Puritan writers (my favorite being Thomas Watson), but when it comes to writers in the early 20th century, Forsyth offers incredible insight.

I could list a whole bunch of my favorite quotes from this book but I would again recommend reading it for yourself.

If you think Christianity is about singing holy mantras, like 'hallelujah' a hundred times in a dimly lit concert hall while the so-called leader encourages you to "let go" or "get closer to Jesus," you are being MISLEAD.

Christianity is redemption through atonement or it is nothing. It is a new 'moral' life, NOT a life merely without bad things in good company.
