Awesome Book Especially Chapter 6. Listened to the Entire Book now about 8 times. Would recommend it to all pastors and those who really desire to know what kind of faith God has called us to. One has to ask the question, "When the Son of Man returns, Will He find Faith on the earth?" So much of what is called 'faith' today, is nothing more than religion. Pastors simply copy and paste instead of studying the Word for themselves. They don't want to provoke people to a Holy Life, they just want everyone to feel good and keep coming.
