Book Reviews of My Absurd Religion
Book Review: About personal and corporate revival in the church
Summary: 5 Stars
Here's the scenario.
You're in the church. It's OK, but you feel empty and you know there must be more than this to following Jesus Christ.
You know there's more to God, and you want Him in your "real" life - at work, at home,. at church, everywhere, all the time.
You know things are not what they should be, but you don't know why, how or why not.
You read the Bible and pray, but you can't break through; not on your own.
Other believers don't seem to "get" you, understand you, and may even think you're getting yourself lost. They're content and you're not!
You don't know you're in a hole, you can't see beyond, but you do know this isn't all right.
You pray to God.
You wait and listen.
Almighty God breaks through and answers.
This is something like Steve Gray's experience recounted in this book.
He's been in the hole and God lifted him out of it.
Now he recognises how many many more other Christians are stuck in a hole of bad religion and has a God-given ministry of helping them get out.
It's about revival. Re-vive-al : bringing Christ-life back to a church full of dead religion, even when it cons itself thatit isn't.
If you're not content as a Christian, but just don't have the heart to give up on Jesus, then this could be a great book for you.
If you're a content Christian, this book might make you reconsider that comfortable position.
You could be striving to serve God with your whole being, and this book might encourage you that there are others like you.
Summary of My Absurd Religion
America is in Crisis! Is Religion to Blame? As politicians, economists, and media analysts continue to probe the most challenging issues facing America's future, one man from the Heartland says what millions are thinking. Experienced insider, Steve Gray, author of My Absurd Religion, takes on the popular religious system of America. Pulling back the curtain on the inner motives of America's absurd religion, Gray reveals what the religion that steers our country is made of, how it got us off track, and what can be done to fix it. Calling for an overhaul of traditional religion, Gray challenges the ineffective methods to which modern day Christianity panders. With compassion and compelling truth, Gray asks these probing questions, "Is God attending our churches?" "How is religion's obsession with morality alienating people?" "Is political power replacing God's power?" and "Is a 'me-centered' message starving America's soul?" Gray first generated international attention through an event that attracted over 250,000 people to a town of 532 in a 3 year period. Interviewed by TIME Magazine, Newsweek, multiple television and radio shows, and other national and international newspapers, Gray gives voice to the failures of traditional Christianity while offering solutions to bring reform. My Absurd Religion, offers a fresh look at religion that works... a religion that will help get America back on course for present and future generations.Christian Living Books
