Unlearning a thing, especially where spiritual matters are concerned, is an eye-opening experience. I downloaded this book as a free Kindle download because of the book description. As Christians, so many of us spend our lives simply believing what we learn in Sunday School, Church sermons, and small group studies without digging deeper to know the truth ourselves. This book is about unlearning those things we take for granted because we heard them, perhaps repeatedly, and accept them at face value.
When I read the first chapter or so, I almost put it down. I have grown sensitive of authors or Christians bashing the Church. It seems to be a modern past time, sad but true.
But, I am glad I didn't stop reading it because while the author starts by stating the reason for writing the book, he goes on to encourage the reader to NOT take things at face value, especially learned concepts and doctrines from childhood or even their own churches.
I enjoyed this book. It's organized well and the author uses his own journey NOT to tell you what to believe but to prompt you to question what you believe and then seek the answer in Scripture. It will either confirm what you've been taught or it will introduce you to the truth. Both are good goals to shoot for.
