Great Book!!

I haven't read many books, but I beleive this is a great book. I have only been a dedicated christian for 2 years, and within that time I have met many people who claim to be christians, but are more wrapped up in religion than they are Christ. This book gives a good insight into modern day pharissies. It has helped me close some doors about some questions I had about certain people. It's all about Jesus, what he did, and how he loves us unconditionaly. He expects us to do the same. Love him and others as yourself. If you focus on these two commandments you will produce more fruit in your life than you ever could have imagined.

Great book for a balanced Biblical Faith

I got this book to help me as i worked through a very trying time in my walk with God. As I read, I began to realize that though outwardly I looked like a great christian, inside I was very confused about my idea of who God was and how he related to me. I belive that the health of any Christian is dependant on his/her understanding of God, and mine had a lot of holes in it. This book has been very helpful in helping me confront a lot of painful misunderstandings I have had about God, and i fully recommend it to anyone who is struggling in thier faith or just feel that their faith is bringing more opression to their lives than freedom.

Blessing for the Spiritually Abused

I recommend this book to everyone whether they've been spiritually abused in a church or not. I keep extra copies on hand to give to people. It took our family years to recover from the damage of spiritual abuse and this book has helped us gain a new perspective on our experience. The book validated us, that we were not alone, that this is not a new thing happening in churches, we gained back our love for the Lord, we have a renewed faith, and growing in a healthy, personal relationship with the Lord, by and through His Grace. An excellent book!

A Must Read For True Spiritual Growth

This book is amazing and one that I will recommend over and over. It speaks to the realities of what it means to be a Christian. Sometimes Christians are expected to be super human (not to have real feelings), even by fellow Christians. This book reminds us that God gave us feelings and we are to bring all of those feelings and emotions to Christ--the good and the bad. For me, this book was confirmation that I am on the right track to a true relationship with my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Before reading this book, please pray and ask the Holy Spirit to open your mind and give you understanding. You must be ready, spiritually, for what the authors say. They don't sugar coat, and they will challenge some old beliefs that may be hindering your relationship with Christ.
