Book Description

America's Bonhoeffer moment is here.

There is a difference between real faith in God and mere religion. There is a kind of religion that is lifeless and is the bitter enemy of true faith. Think of Dietrich BonhoefferÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_Ì´åÇÌÎå«Ì´Ìàs prophetic attempts to waken the sleeping German church, often an unwitting ally of Hitler and the Third Reich. Or of William WilberforceÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_Ì´åÇÌÎå«Ì´Ìàs heroic efforts to rouse his complacent ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇChristianÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_Ì´å« countrymen to stand against the monstrous evil of the slave trade. Bonhoeffer and Wilberforce stood against the evil of their times ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_Ì´åÇÌÎå«Ì´åå an evil often repackaged in religious-sounding language.

Eric MetaxasÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_Ì´åÇÌÎå«Ì´Ìà electrifying message ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_Ì´åÇÌÎå«Ì´åå delivered before the president and dozens of national leaders at the 60th Annual National Prayer Breakfast ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_Ì´åÇÌÎå«Ì´åå calls readers to follow in the steps of Wilberforce and Bonhoeffer, men who lived their faith and swam against the mainstream instead of drifting along with it. Metaxas makes it clear that phony religiosity offends God himself ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_Ì´åÇÌÎå«Ì´åå and that real prayer is possible only with a living faith in a living God. And that kind of faith can transform the world. No pressure.

ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇMr. Metaxas is bold in his telling of our need to take things into account and live accordingly -- he even puts our President's feet to the fire. Worth the read for its content, but its prose is a pleasure.ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ_Ì´å« ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎÌ__ÌÎÌ_Ì´åÇÌÎå«Ì´åå AMC
