Book Reviews of Adventures in Missing the Point: How the Culture-Controlled Church Neutered the Gospel

Book Review: Give it a read!
Summary: 4 Stars

If you were raised in the evangelical church with the Bible already mapped out and interpreted for you and then grew up and started coming to some different conclusions- then you're living out what this book talks about. If you find yourself ever thinking "wait a minute. That doesn't say what I was taught that it says!" then you'll want to read it! I loved this book. It described the transformation I'm going through and reassured me that I can still be a Christian and disagree with other Christians on the interpretation of the Bible. The Bible itself, of course, is infallible.

Summary of Adventures in Missing the Point: How the Culture-Controlled Church Neutered the Gospel

There is a stirring among churchgoers. Many are looking at how the Christian faith is being played out, wondering if somehow we're missing the point. What if there is more to our faith than just getting our souls into heaven? What if there is a power in the gospel that's been kept under lock and key because of our culture-controlled church? If we placed our beliefs and their origins under the microscope, what would we see?
