Christless Christianity: The Alternative Gospel of the American Church

Christless Christianity: The Alternative Gospel of the American Church by Michael Horton (Baker Books): In a previous "Preaching Now" book note, we wrote: "Writing from a strongly Reformed perspective, Horton argues that much of the American church has replaced theology with therapy and has opted for good advice over good news. His targets are wide-ranging--from emerging to fundamentalist--but any reader will find useful insights and a reminder of the need to keep the gospel at the center of our proclamation."

    Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to matter what your genre is. The "alternative" tags can be applied to any who choose to take the easy way out. I am in a small church in a town of 25,000 people and I see this all around me. If fact it is not new to me but the older I get the more is seems intolerable. It is said to be a "necessary" move if we are to keep those who the Barna Group call "unchurch" at all interested. Brothers and sisters the fight is on...so is the pressure.
