Many nonChristians find the behavior of some Christians offputting rather than inviting. Many Christians do too! Now Bruce Bickel and Stan Jantz, authors of Knowing the Bible 101, take an unflinchingly honest and often humorous look at some believers outlandish behavior. This candid assessment of the church will bridge the communication gap, empowering Christians to share their faith more freely and helping those who dont yet believe discover the truth about God without being distracted by... judgmental attitudes, hypocrisy, and condemnation confusing mixtures of politics and the gospel defensive positions in the God vs. science debate extreme teachings about prosperity unbalanced fixations on the end times uninformed opinions about others beliefs unprofessional Christian media and entertainment This refreshing call to authentic Christianity will help Christians and nonChristians get past the peripheral issues and communicate openly and honestly about God.
