How Saved Are We?

This book is WONDERFUL. Even if you think yourself to be godly and God fearing, you'll be rocked to your core with conviction; you'll be challenged to seek the beautiful face of our Savior and follow Him in a sacrificial and no-holds-barred way. You may think you're already doing this, but you'll be shocked. This book is truly a rude awakening and one we need so badly! The American church is in such sad state. Rather than us changing the world, the world has changed and corrupted us and we're so deceived that we think little or nothing of it. We compare our actions to the world's actions and therefore think we're doing ok. Shouldn't we be comparing ourselves with the WORD OF GOD and seeing our need for repentance and godly living, rather than comparing ourselves with the enemies of God (James 4:4) as if that's some type of ruler that God would be pleased with? The church has been so [...] by so many worldly influences that it's no longer the church. We don't stand against sin as it might offend someone. We don't rebuke each other, because as some will say "we're judging." Do we even want to live godly in Christ Jesus or do we want to justify ourselves and be left alone to wallow in the mud?! When are we going to stand up for the Lord and boldly stand against the sin that He died for, regardless of what people think of us? When are we going to heed the warning in Ezekiel 3:16-21? Lord, may you help us to mimic the early Church and stand strong and bold for You, no matter the cost! What has become the "I'm doing good for God" norm for the American Christian is what causes others around the world to come to us as a mission field--we're pathetic and need help! May God help us! Thank you Michael Brown for allowing the Lord to work so powerfully through you to give us these words of warning. It's been such a blessing for our family and I'm sure to every lover of God that reads it.

Watch out for this wake up call from Michael Brown. His "fire" leaps off the pages and rattles your cage. Prepare to have your walk with God changed by what is written in this book. This book is a real challenge to anyone that professes Christ as Lord!

For a small book this was one is awesome in clearly stating the current condition of the church or more specifically the Christian. Even though the book was written in 1990 it is more than applicable today. I just finished the book this morning. If you want to rise above the average Christian life and find out what we should be doing then this book is for you. If you don't want to be motivated, don't read it, if you don't want to really serve Christ don't buy the book. If you don't want to reach souls for Jesus then this book isn't for you. But the hour is late and there are so many unreached people. Buy the book you'll never be the same.

This book will make you think about the very essence of your christianity. The way you think about salvation and possibly how departmentalised you can become. It could even shake the very foundations of your beliefs.

There has been so much confusion on who a Christian should be, how we should act or what we should believe. Finally not another "make me feel good about myself" band-aid to put over a gaping cancer wound. We need the truth and not a theory of who we should be and I thank Dr. Brown for a reality check.
