Freedom & Recovery from Cultural Christianity

Book Cover & Preview Text
Whether you are a curious skeptic, a faithful newcomer, or a seasoned saint, this is “the inside scoop.” The truth telling, tell-all, behind-the-scenes Biblical exposé on what God says it means to be a true Christian. While I do hear this type of truth coming out in these last days occasionally, the majority of pulpits are anemic – even silent -- about the guts and glory of being a follower of Jesus Christ.
Even if you have considered yourself “saved” and have read the Bible from Genesis to the maps, there will still be challenging growth and discovery in the pages ahead that can result in a deeper and more intimate walk with the loving God of the universe.

About the Book
The purpose of Spiritual Sobriety is to reveal and release what the Bible describes that it takes to be a true disciple of Jesus Christ in contrast to the benign and oft-anemic “pop dedication” that has pervaded the church, especially in the past fifty years.
Spiritual Sobriety is the inviting and tangible story of my journey from being a cultural Christian to an intimate follower of Jesus Christ. This book will take readers by the hand and lead them on a scripturally based, real-life journey by a path that winds from tearing down the stealthy façades of man-made religion, around the potholes of legalism and busyness, toward a destination of a grace-filled, authentic, God-empowered Christian life that walks in daily, hand-in-hand intimacy with a loving Father.
