I have been given the opportunity to read and review Eric Ludy's upcoming book called The Bravehearted Gospel (it will be released in September).
To say the very least, God has and is using it in a powerful way in my soul and in my life. Hence the reason I am writing this here.
I don't know if anyone will even read this, but I am emboldened to do what I can to spread the message of this book.
Christianity has become something people look upon with distaste and displeasure, definitely not something they run to wholeheartedly. It has become "in vogue" for Christians to have more in common with the world than with Christ, which is truly rendering them ineffective in sharing the Kingdom of God with this lost and dying world. The Church is falling apart, from the inside out. That is because it has lost the bravehearted stuff that makes up all that Christianity is supposed to be. Following Jesus Christ is no longer what it means to be a Christian. The modern definition has fallen so very far from the roots of Truth, and all that Jesus came to do and is doing and is calling us to.
I applaud Eric Ludy for writing this. I am so very grateful to God for leading him to write such a book. I cannot even express how very timely it is, and how desperately needed within the Church, and truly this entire world.
The book shines bright light on the Christianity of the Bible, which is the most explosive, most vibrant, most extraordinary force on Earth-a force meant to bring glory to the Most High God and turn people's hearts in His direction. It's a call to reclaim that for which Christ died for us.
I earnestly and urgently recommend it.
For the kingdom and for the glory of my King!
With deep sincerity,
Shalea
