Book Review: Don't Call It a Comeback

This book is a unique juxtaposition of multiple writers and multiple subject matters.  The writers, propose why it is important not to prorogue from our faith in Christ in order to reach the lost and needy.

The book begins by showing how to win the souls of the "Next Generation".  We live in a post-modern relativistic society and to reach the lost we have to preach the Gospel like we actually mean it.  The onset of the exert is rich with application for passionately winning souls to Christ. 

The book continues by joining the importance of the inerrancy of Scripture and how we respond to the authenticity of the God-breathed canon of which we use today.  Conjugate the absolute validity of Scripture with the Gospel (Jesus' substitutionary death on the cross and encompassing resurrection) the "New Birth":  a new way of thinking will begin to take fruition.  The book further expounds with the ideal of a 'new way of thinking' with exerts on the doctrines of justification and sanctification; lead the reader to the point that the canon of Scripture points to Jesus as being The Only Way (John 14:6). 

The book is a three part series of an assembly of writings and as the parts take form in a sort of introductory, foundation (that is not up for debate), and application, part three is where the 'rubber meets the road' so to speak.  The final section is the application of the theology that builds off the foundation of the previous section.  The section points us in the direction of being intentional about one's faith in all areas of life.  So many Christians have fallen by the way-side and into world thinking by not taking stands for what is right and wrong.  Christians in North America have become pacifist and allowed the post-modern theology to set up a strong hold.  The book counters the world views with how to love a lost and dying world.  Areas of concern are as follows:  Social Justice, Homosexuality, Abortion, Gender Confusion, The Local Church, Worship, and Missions.

 

Christians have willingly jettisoned the responsibility of what God has called us to be, and thus the political realm has received it with arms-wide-open.  The context of this book is rich fodder for believers to discover or rediscover what we are lacking or just simply do not known.  So to be dejected by what we are deficient in, is no longer (nor ever has been) debatable.  The intention of the book is to help a new generation of Christians to take delight in the important aspects of faith and constitution.
