As someone with many questions and concerns about the state of affairs today, this book was very enlightening concerning issues that affect us all. Mr. Bechthold has a firm grasp and (I believe) a true understanding of God's word. The book deals with subjects that while not completly taboo, may 'light a fire under someone's rear'. This is a good thing. He is quite implicit in stating the current crisis in the modern church. There are a number of misleading and destructive ideologies that threaten to consume those who take too much comfort in the insights and opinions of others, while neglecting to immerse themselves in the Bible (the only authority on the subject) to disecrn God's true scripture.Mr. Bechthold points out everything from the "once saved, always saved" school of thought, to the subject of liberalism and political correctness that threatens to choke the nation. Hypocrisy in the church (from divorces to lifestyles), and the teaching of the Rapture are also delved into. He covers each subject from an objective viewpoint then tightens the noose by thouroughly quoting scripture to clinch it! He knows his stuff and is modest as he even begs the reader to not just take his word for it, but study the Word of God themselves.This being the case, and the fact his writing is articulate, clear and consise, he remains factual therefore quite polite. So let me, a new fan (and hoping for more books to shed light on the decay of morals and the temptation to compromise God's Word) be the first to say, . . .wonderful job!Excellent to read, even better to study. Get it if you seek the truth, don't if you would rather be content and not be challenged.
