This book came to me as a gift, and a God-incident. I'm already a big fan of Adam Hamilton but this book answered SO many questions and concerns that people have today, especially for those that have lost faith and have left the church. This book addresses our inability to resist temptation and how it affects other Christians and non-Christians. This will never be a perfect world but with God's unending love and grace, we can make this world a much better place.

The author makes a very good case about why young people are leaving, or never joining, a Christian church. They find Christians to be judgmental, hypocritical and too political. He is a fine writer of many books, admits where he gets it wrong, and gives credit to the Christians, who are getting it right. Highly recommended. 114 pages.

"When Christians get it Wrong" raises interesting social issues that Christians have diverse opinions on. Author Adam Hamilton leads diplomatic discussions on "hot topics" and gets readers to think more deeply about the issues and their Christian beliefs and values.

Good book that explains controversial issues in Christianity in a clear manner. We enjoyed in our Bible study.
