He really uses this book to push his own agenda, twisting pieces of truth to his own purpose.  its quite a shame as there is much to learn from here, but he makes his hate of Christians clear early on, and his hate of conservatives clear throughout.

Barna does a great job of showing the reader why the Christian church in America doesn't have the influence that it should.  Using interesting statistics obtained by surveys/polls, Barna shows us that many are calling themselves Christians but few are living it.  In his opinion  this is largely the main reason the church isn't making the impacts it once did so many years ago.  Great read, I highly recommend it.

The church as we used to know it is busy changing at a rapid pace. The Next Christians was written from the "cutting edge" of the church of tomorrow. A must read.

The world, the flesh, and the devil compete for our hearts, but thankfully, we can overcome thru Christ!

Another call to actions for Christians by Mark Batterson. A challenging and thrilling reminder that God is on our side and we are involved in His bigger plan.

Dr. Avant provides a compelling view of the current status of the American church and calls us all to action.  With what Christianity has become today, we're better off severing ourselves from it and simply call ourselves "Christ followers."  Because, sadly, if we were to actually do what God calls us to do, if we were to act like God were actually real, many churches in this country would want nothing to do with us.  Reader beware, reading this book may grow in you a desire to live dangerously and to escape the safe bubble we've all put ourselves in.  A great buy and a great read.

I love the information this book brings to light. It is helpful to know there are other churches fighting the same battle. To know we will get what we expect is a mouthful when you understand people will give what is expected, when it comes to time, energy, and effort. If we require no effort then people will give none.

This booklet should be read by all so we who follow Christ can recognize the infiltration of the evil one in our churches. It shows the strategy of satan followers in destroying churches, witness and keeping the Gospel from being effective. In each of the steps I saw patterns from each church I have attended. The evil one and his minions are still working in the world today. This booklet, filled with Scriptural references, demonstrates the ease with which ministries are attacked and how God has prepared us through his word to identify and overcome them.

This book shows us how our Lord has tempered all the body according as He sees fit.  The church must have all kinds of people, with strengths and weaknesses, of all ages. All have their place in the Body.  The Lord puts us together for His building, for His eternal purpose.  We are not on this earth playing with Barbie dolls, but with men who were created as vessels to contain God; In order that we ALL arrive at the oneness of the faith, at a full grown man, at the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Some are little-souled, and cannot bear much; some can bear much ill treatment; some are weak; and we must be long suffering toward all (1 Thes. 5:14).  We must experience Christ in His many aspects. Then and only then can we be long suffering toward all.  Only Christ in us, experienced by us, can build His testimony.  Let us enjoy Him to the full.  Let us not settle for crumbs.  His riches are inexhaustible.

Would you say that we are following the Lord or that we are far from God? Every day our country moves closer and closer to pushing God out. Prayer has been removed from our school systems, the Ten Commandments have been taken off of our courthouses, and there are lawsuits against the Bible.

America is going through this cycle. We began this country based upon the laws of God, and because of this we have been blessed  tremendously! As the nations before us, we have gradually turned away from God to follow the ways of this world.

One of the things that we must do before God will heal our land is to turn from our wicked ways.

David Lange has been a Pastor and Church Planter since 1994. In the last few years he has spent time studying the Old Testament Cycle and figuring out how America has gotten to where we are. This book is challenging, thought provoking, and needed for this generation.

The rights of orthodox Christians are slipping away in the United States and Canada. Not only are we losing key battles but our voices are being silenced in the public square. But stifling is not only from he outside but from the inside. Many Christians, for example, are ceding ground and no longer exercising their rights of freedom speech. In Canada, where I live, it is as if we've given up. Render Unto Caesar is handbook, reflection, work of spirituality that will inspire anyone who feels that there is still a battle worth fighting. I've read many books on this issue of Christians in the public square and this by far the best. If the Catholic Church had more bishops like Chaput we would have no problem today. This book will encourage and cajole you to stand up for what you believe in the midst of a liberal/secular maelstrom. Buy two copies: one for your self and one for a fellow Christian who seems to have lost heart. The revolution back to our rightful place starts in these pages.

There are so many things that take up our attention on a daily basis.  Whatever God has called you to do, you are busy with it each day.  But in the midst of that busyness, it is important to see what really matters: The Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Not only has Christ died for us to save us from God's wrath, but he has shown us how to live.  By thinking on the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we are set free to live as we really were meant to live.  I suggest reading this book for help in making sense of the "mundane" that God has you in right now.

This book is okay. The conversion stories were convincing. The Truth being stated that we need to Get ready & Be Prepared because Jesus will Return as a thief in the night. (Don't Miss the Ark-so to Speak!)

I Believe this is  required reading for any real follower of Christ. Time to STOP playing church,  And all country club Christianity. Time for everyone to consider the PRICE to fully follow JESUS . Never have i seen more clearly the two systems  and ways of LIFE available for all human beings. We are born into a system at odds with our GOD, and then there's another unlike anything we have ever seen walked before us. There are ways that seem right to a man but the end there in is distruction.  While it's NOT TOO LATE now is the acceptable day to get real, choose whom you will serve.  This book is a coming together of all the things i have been hearing, reading and watching for the last 10 years. Awesome  and Great book, Please read  and let GOD speak to you.

A reminder that God's plan for the chosen people, His chosen people, is not complete even though they have been the instrument that gave us The Christ!

A great testament to the strength Christ gives to those who seek him and don't turn to the right or the left.
