Practical Christianity

I sat down with this book and did not get up till I finished it. That is not amazing due to the few pages there are. The amazing part is how my faith, my worldview and my Chrisitanity was so radically changed by such a small book.The Bible is the original text while this book if the Cliff Notes in applying the real Christianity.I now see Jesus in the eyes of the homeless; the prisoner; the "pain in the neck" people and therefore my christian expression has changed.Do Not read this book if you do not want to change your actions toward people.

Why I keep reading this book

Love, Acceptance, and Forgiveness changed the way I view church, ministry, and Christians as a whole. As a result of first reading this book ten years ago, and rereading it every year, I have discovered that people need unconditional love simply because they are humans.The key concept is simply that people need to be loved and deserved to be loved because they were created in the image of God. Acceptance should have nothing to do with stature or position, but simply with the fact that we are all humans.Forgiveness should flow freely without strings attached because we can all receive that same gift. I would encourage all people to read this book, embrace the concepts, and allow it to change the way you opperate as a person. In the simplest terms, in the most concise way to put it, it will challenge you to examine the way you view humanity.

Love Acceptance & Forgiveness

This book should be on the reading list of every Christian. In this day when people are searching for a return to simplicity in everyday life, this book boils all of the programs and rituals into simple terms to show the difference between being "religious" and living as Christ lived.I wish every Christian friend I have could read it. My husband and I read it chapter by chapter aloud to each other and could hardly put it down until the last page was finished.

Exemplifies Christs compassion

Love, Acceptance, and Forgiveness is an unusual work that calls Christians to be Jesus to others without using man's religion. This book has transformed churches and communities by liberating the believer to allow God to minister to the needs of everyone.

This should be on every Christians bookshelf

Every time you turn a page another gem comes to light. It's one of those books you wished you'd read long ago.Why should I expect others to accept me, just like I am, if I am not prepared to do the same for them.Why is it that so many churches seem to fail to reach their ultimate potential? Jerry would suggest that it is because we all only give of our best when we know we are accepted.Discover your potential in Christ by putting these teachings into pratice.
