Indian nationalist leader Mahatma Gandhi has been quoted as saying “I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” This is a sad indictment of the Christian community as a whole.  Is it true?  Are believers in Christ the reason people keep their distance from Judeo-Christian beliefs and the God we embrace?  I feel there’s no question that we’re partially to blame.  In this book I touch on a wide variety of topics, but in the end call out Christians to immerse themselves in a time of reassessment as we all strive to be more genuine and consistent in our faith.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First of all, do realize that this is not written as a theological treatise. This book does not use “Christianese,” and the reader will not find scholarly terminology nor a deep exploration of Apologetics. This is written on a basic level, and the author is able to write in such a way that he will not be easily misconstrued. Do know that this is written for Christians–I do believe that non-believers would be baffled and offended. The book covers an amazing array of topics concerning the rejection of the gospel, and each is handled fairly well. I honestly have no criticism concerning any of the sections nor chapters.

The best portion of the book to me was the realization that Christians are not called to judge non-Christians. This is something I did long ago, but I have found that in recent years, I have not. It was a definitive validation for the author to back up what I believed with Scripture. I probably would have appreciated a bit more scholarly work, but I appreciated that he referred to one of the greatest apologists in Christendom–C.S. Lewis.

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
