Interesting View of the Church of Jesus Christ

I was recommended this book by several house church leaders. Gene Edwards is also involved in various house churches around the United States and the world. He is man of God that I highly respect and admire for his willingness to go against modern traditions to follow the Word of God.This book deals with a college group in the 1970's that is undergoing termoil and splits. Edwards had helped start this informal church in California. The church had stared out wonderfully but has degressed into splits and even sin. This book is from the messages and teaching that Edwards gave to this group after being apart from them for one year in their fighting.The book offers insights into what it takes to love each other in the Church as Jesus commanded us (John 13:34-35). We are to climb the highest mountain (not settle for the standard of modern Christianity nor settle into lukewarmness). This book will offer you insights into how God calls us to live in peace with one another (Hebrews 12:14-15).

Consider the origins of world-wide systemization?

If you've ever considered the origins of the way and why of the systemization in this world, take a look at what is written in this book. Whether you are a believer or not, be prepared to be confronted with spiritual realities in our everyday lives. This book is especially helpful if you desire to make a break from hierarchialsim and systemization in your day to day experience.

A jewel you won't find in your Christian book store

This book is one of the two most important Christian books I've ever read--the other being Jean Guyon's "Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ." For a long time I said that neither would ever be found alongside the typical formula-writings found filling most Christian bookstores...but a nascent awakening in the Spirit among Christians in the '90s has surprisingly placed Guyon on a few store shelves.Not "Highest Mountain," however. It is still too threatening to the organizational status quo, even though it deals with the destructive aftereffects of the organization rather than directly with the organization's scriptural and practical shortcomings. Nevertheless, you can read between the book's lines and get a good understanding of *why* there is so much destruction of good Christians by the current anti-biblical structure.This book has, and will, save many a Christian's life (though the likelihood of most people's running across it is unfortunately small). It is, I believe, a *necessary* perspective to help those who seek to know God more deeply as they run into their own and others tendency to become religious (in the worst sense of the term) and then destructive within the Christian organizational system. This is a topic that is almost completely unrecognized in every sector of the Christian church. Edwards explores how you *will be* affected by this tendency during your Christian life, and how to stay spiritually healthy in the middle of it all. I told a dear friend of mine to read this book two years ago, as a defense against the dangers and harm that comes to test all Christians...he never did, a hurt came, and now his life and the lives of his whole family have been nearly destroyed from the bitterness he is holding. "My people perish for lack of knowledge"...this is some of the knowledge for the lack of which we literally perish. Please read this book: I promise you that you will eventually need its perspective, and you won't get it anywhere else I've seen.
