This is the book I have been praying for and I am 100% convinced it is going to change my life.
Here is a sample of what I highlighted:
“We are molding Jesus into our image. He is beginning to look a lot like us because, after all, that is who we are most comfortable with. And the danger now is that when we gather in our church buildings to sing and lift up our hands in worship, we may not actually be worship the Jesus of the Bible. Instead we may be worshiping ourselves.”p.13
"American churches have embraced values and ideas that are not only unbiblical but that are actually contradict the gospel we claim to believe." p.3
"... if Jesus is who he said he is, and if his promises are as rewarding as the Bible claims they are, then we may discover that satisfaction in our lives and success in the church are not found in what our culture deems most important but in radical abandonment to Jesus." p.3
“… somewhere along the way we had missed what is radical about our faith and replaced it with what is comfortable. We were settling for a Christianity that revolves around catering to ourselves when the central message of Christianity is actually about abandoning ourselves.”
