    I won't buy it cuz I already teach and preach essentially what it says. But from the preview it seems it would be quite useful to many.

    It is more than time to turn away from the idolatry of having the biblical God and Jesus tweaked to conform to our traditions, cultural and personal preferences to worship that genuinely honours and serves God in spirit and in truth

    Judging only from the product page, the author looks to be flailing at paper tigers. Pass.  

    And one must remember the twelve (Holy Spirit imbibed) were having collective heart attacks. And not much evidence too many signed on (to the absolute demands). Even Paul was unconcerned, except for marriage and oxen-support. The early Fathers, ditto.

    Excellent author. I read another book by him recently, and went through one of his Mobile Ed courses. Fully recommended.
