Review Summary: A comprehensive overview of Christ and His call
Date: 2008-11-04
Details: A must read for any person curious about Christ or seeking to grow in their understanding of Christ and the church, both in historical context and in our walk today.
A necessary challenge to the Church in today's social/political/moral climate.
Review Summary: Color me ambivalent...
Date: 2008-10-29
Details: I applaud the book in general for its concise presentation of the main tenets of Christian faith.
The uncritical acceptance (endorsement?) of Roman Catholicism, however, makes me wonder if the co-authors are aware of RC departures from the faith on important doctrines which, together with distancing Church devices, necessitated The Reformation.

Bible Study material available too.
Review Summary: Needed
Date: 2008-08-19
Details: In a time when Christianity is infected with "truth is what you want it to be today but it might be different tomorrow" and living the faith is some sort of magical mystery tour, Colson and Fickett's new book is much-needed and should be read along with MacArthur's THE TRUTH WAR. Colson/Fickett remind us that God did not mumble in His word. He spoke clearly and the truths of scripture are the same today as they were when penned through inspired writers.
Review Summary: Very Helpful for our congregation
Date: 2008-07-30
Details: Our church has chosen this book for our summer Bible study. I preach from the main chapter topics and then we use the study guide for our Adult Bible Classes. In some ways the Study Guide has been more helpful than the book as it takes a more detailed approach for questioning subject matter. For me personally the vignettes were not very helpful and I think the book is exaggerated in its advertizing. All in all, the main subjects (i.e. God, The Word, The Truth, etc) are very timely topics and our congregations seems to have profited by the study.
