The “average folk” of evangelicalism will agree with this book. The leaders and vision-casters and dream-makers of evangelicalism will hate it.

The author has often written and spoken about the dangers of evangelicalism, its cousin ecumenicalism, and its parent, the church-growth movement. In this hard-hitting book, he spells out the confusion of the evangelical movement. And even more, he points out the manipulative manner of the movement, and the danger it posses to your family, your church, and your community.

If you are looking to put words to your frustrations about the direction of Christian ministry in the United States and much of the western world, then this may be the book for you. The book is, according to its author, “an equal opportunity offender.”
