The Suicide of American Christianity: Drinking the "Cool"-Aid of Secular Humanism
"American Christianity is dying a slow death at its own hands. Instead of positively affecting the secular culture, we are being infected by it under the guise of being “seeker-friendly” and “loving.” Soon, the church may be an exact mirror of the culture that seeks to destroy us.
With a lack of strong, principled leaders, and with followers who want their ears tickled instead of being challenged to pursue righteousness, American Christianity is writing its own epitaph as it slowly dies. Unless we reverse course by embracing the complete, absolute truth of God’s Word and stop trying to redefine God in our selfish human image, only a remnant will remain from a once-powerful church.
Do we have the courage to challenge our leaders and ourselves to reject secular culture and its influences? Or will we continue to die a slow death at our own hands as we continue to inhale the cancer of secular humanism? Time is running out.

A really good book on the loss of courage and commitment in the church. I agree with what he is saying as far as how the church is compromising it's beliefs to be more friendly to outsiders. My only quibble is that he spends too much time examining specific people and some people will focus on that rather than the message but his views on where the church is and where it is going are spot on.
I also think that he comes down too firmly on the side of justice, or what some call truth. The gospel is most accurately revealed in the tension between truth and grace. Most people come down on one side or the other and this book is firmly on the truth side. Do this but not that with little room for grace. (For a book that probably comes down too far on the other side that is still biblical see "Speaking of Jesus). He comes off somewhat pharestetical(?). His heart is in the right place and I agree with much of what he says but I would like to see more room for grace and forgiveness.

This book has some good, necessary information, but the tone is a big turn off for me. I don't like polemics, even when I agree.
