If you want to be encouraged and uplifted this book is a must. God has not left us to do His work without enabling us with His power. This book explains with testiomony what that means...

Best Christian Book i have ever read  I have read hundreds of Christian books, this is the best.  Please read this book, not only does the author know the Gospels, he knows how to give us a way of living the love of Christ in our daily lives.  Really, really good.

This ought to be required reading for every Christian.  Not just young disciples -- with the current state of Christianity, all can benefit from this book.  Very thorough in its treatment of essential doctrines, with many related verse citations for every one of the 52 lessons.

I wish everyone who professes to be a Christian would read this book!  This book is the perfect example of what God would have us do.  We "play Christianity" but do not really walk the walk.  It is about time the church doors open up. We need to go to those who truly need to see "Jesus' unconditional love in action," and in turn, welcome everyone to join our church family so they too can grow up in God's Word and serve Him.  Read this book! Perfect for a Bible Study in your neighborhood or small church group.

I read this book some time ago.  It is one of the best and most encouraging books I've ever read.  I emailed the author to tell him this book should be read by everyone and that this is what the Christian world needs to hear.  He graciously replied which tells me a lot about the heart of this man.  Read the book, you won't be disappointed.

Excellent book...one that should be read by every Christian today. There is Power in the words we speak, I was not aware of how powerful until I read this book

Very interesting and informative.  Clearly and concisely written.  I am most certain that Christ will return in our generation.  This book should be a wake-up-call for most Christians.  We should be alert and watchful.  I highly recommend this book.

Every Christian should read this book.  For those who follow Christian Replacement  theology, One, go back and read the promises of God to his Chosen people.  Two, other than dismissing Gods word, JESUS was a Jew as well.  And Finally, The Christian Church has been every bit as non-faithful to God as the Jewish people have ever been!  Our God's Grace applies to the Jew as well.  The bible outlines a different plan for the Jew who for now does not accept Jesus Christ.

...  Bob George doesn't have exclusive access to the truths he illustrates in his book.  A Christian doesn't have to read this book to realize the abundant life he or she has in Christ Jesus.
So why do I recommend this book so highly?  Mainly because I believe that God has blessed Bob with an incredible ability to communicate spiritual messages to others.  He certainly communicated those messages to me.  Classic Christianity had a major impact on my life.  Before reading this book, I was steeped in religion.  I was brought up to believe that "God helps those who help themselves."  Only later in life did I learn that the Bible never actually said that, Benjamin Franklin did.  So everything I did as a Christian I did out of my own effort, trying to repay God a little for what He did for me by sending His Son to die on the cross.  Oh sure, I sometimes asked God to help me when things were going a little rough, but I never considered asking anything of Him when situations were going well or my problems seemed manageable.
I certainly didn't ask for God's help when I read the Bible, and this is why I never came to the conclusions Bob did until after reading Classic Christianity.  Bob consistently returns to the scriptures while making his points.  He helped me to realize the importance, rather the necessity of relying upon the Holy Spirit for guidance through ALL parts of my life.  Once I started to let the Holy Spirit take control of my life, I began to see the Bible from an entirely new vantage point.  Everything started to make sense.
Bob's book does exactly what every Christian book should.  It leads us back to our relationship with Jesus.  Once there, we can receive truth right from the source of truth.  Having reread most of the New Testament after reading Classic Christianity, I truly believe that the points made in Classic Christianity are valid.  But don't take Bob George's word for it and certainly don't take mine.  Read this book and then compare it to the Bible yourself.  See if it doesn't have as big of an impact on your relationship with Jesus as it had on mine.

If you think you are a good Christian, living the life you should, you might wanna read this book.
Just when you think you are doing everything right, Brother Kyle makes you rethink where you
really stand in your walk with Jesus.

I recommend this book to every Christian, especially now, in the world we are living in.  It can
make a big difference in you life-both early and heavenly.

This book is so great, it needs to be read by EVERY Christian. I get so mad at people preaching repentance from sins in order to be saved. That is what most people are preaching today, and its NOT the Truth. Repentance was TOWARDS God, and Jesus NOT from our sins. IF you teach repentance from sins as a requirement for Eternal Life you start to run into to all kinds of problems. The word Repentant in this book is put under a microscope and the author does a great job anyalizing the meaning. The Gospel was never meant to be hard to understand, it is a FREE Gift and nothing is required. Just believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. The rest is in in God's hands, and he will lead you and hold just as he promised to Life Eternal.

By the way, did you know that the word Repentance in the dictionary today is completely different than the actual meaning defined in ancient times. The Devil has his hand in the Dictionary and the perversion Bibles, trying to add to Christ's sacrifice. I won't be boastin on Judgement day about how I "repented" of my sins in order to reach heaven. It is by Grace I am saved. But I REPENTED of my unbelief and that I could get to Heaven on my own. This book is worth every penny and should be shared with others. The light of Jesus must and WILL shine throughout the world, we must carry the light of hope as ambassadors of Christ.

This is an important book for all Christians to read and to help them understand how to pursue Christ exalting diversity. Beginning with Dr, Martin Luther King's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," 10 Christian leaders address the problems that still plague the church in the area of racial reconciliation. The contributors of various ages and ethnicities address that only Christ can bring about true unity, but that the gospel also demands justice. No longer can the church remain passive in the area of racial inequality and prejudice.

The contributors included are John Perkins, John Piper, Crawford W. Loritts, Jr., John Bryson, Bryan Loritts, Sandy Wilson, Albert Tate, Charlie Dates, Matt Chandler, and Soon-Chan Rah. These authors present their own unique response to Dr. King's letter and it makes for fascinating reading and much food for thought.

I would highly recommend it to all who truly want to learn more about how the church can become a truly multi-cultural church. For me, I will begin by reaching out to those who are not like me in the body of Christ. We can each make a difference to bring about reconciliation between races and cultures.

I received this book from Moody Publishers for this review.

I would suggest every Christian to read this book; in fact, I will suggest this book to others! However, I will always have a footnote attached to the recommendation.
There is a lot of very, very good stuff in the book which makes me (a conservative Christian) both scream out for more and reconsider my own believes and practices. In many parts of the book I find myself being described, having been trained in both theology and apologetics, thinking to know all the answers, ready to take on Richard Dawkins. There are parts which humble me, such as how I sit right now comfortably in front of a computer, being warmed and filled (actually, cooled by a fan, but you get the idea) while at the same time there are people who are suffering around the world. The author raises some very important questions about the Christian faith and especially about the Christian practice. She rightly appeals for less "judgmentalism," for more compassion, for less politics in Christianity. I applaud her for these (and many others).
However, she fails in other areas, areas which probably are just as important. She rightly says that Christians like to pick-and-choose (and even admits that she does so herself). I was severely disappointed to see that she discovered Jesus in the Gospels, but she apparently did not see how often He in fact taught on hell and the coming judgment. According to my own personal count, if you came to Jesus and heard Him talk, you had a 25% chance to hear something about judgment. Also, Jesus was merciful to those who came to Him who humbled themselves, came to Him with a repentant heart. His attitudes towards those who did not come to Him that way, was radically different (just look at the "believers" of John 8:31-59). Also, even though Jesus' message of love is incredible, the ONLY passage in Scripture we find about God loving the "world" is John 3:16; all other love passages speak of God's love for His son, Christ's love for the Father, Christian's love for one another, etc. And if we turn to Acts, the Greek words for "love" are not used once ... apart from Acts 15:25 describing Barnabas and Paul as "beloved". Apparently the disciples of Christ either did not get the "message," or "God loves you so much that He wants you to be saved" was not their methodology of evangelization. Lastly, when she writes that Zarmina (the woman who was executed by the Taliban) is loved by God, what does she do about John 3:18-20, that those who do not believe are judged ALREADY? What does she do with the multitude of verses which describe God hating unbelievers (Leviticus 20:23; Psalm 11:5; 34:16; Proverbs 8:13; Hosea 9:15; Psalm 5:5-6; Proverbs 6:16-19; 11:20; 12:22; 16:5; Zechariah 8:17); what does she do with Romans 1:18ff, where it says that all people know that only the biblical God exists, but that they actively suppress that knowledge because they don't want Him? Maybe I am asking too much from the book that is more of an autobiography?
I think my time was well-spent in reading the book; it helped me re-examine myself and I trust that the book makes me more Christ-like. For that, I give her 5 stars. However, her failure to deal with some of the very important issues that contradict her journey, I give her 1 star. Hence, the middle of 3 stars.

This is a must read for all Christians. As the end times draw nearer each day, we as Christians are coming under greater attacks by forces of darkness. This book is an excellent tool on how we can and should fight back. I don't know of any believer who is not dealing with at least one or several of the topics covered in this book. Brother Perry makes this book easy to read and understand. It helped me so much that I even bought extra copies to share with family and friends. Blessings!

I learned so much in this book, I am amazed and humbled. We can't take our service to God lightly and we have to work contrary to the world we live in. For example to be great is to be the servant, not the ruler or the boss. I bless God. Will be reading several times and I highly recommend this book to every christian because we are called to walk in authority and impose the Kingdom of God. Amen.

Every Christian should read this book. This subject has been pigeon-holed and swept under the rug by modern day theologians because it forces them to explain things they have tried to rationalize through their human mind, instead of by searching in the Scriptures for God's answers.
