The Decline of the Church (And Other Stuff Church People Don't Like Talking About)

This is a collection of three books.
Book 1. The Decline of the Church. What about Christians and racism? Doesn't God want ya'll ta be rich and famous? Don't all those Holy books teach basically the same thing? Why are Christians so mean? Who was Jesus really? What is the point of the Church anyway? All these questions and more are explored in this short but hard-hitting collection of essays, stories, and poems.
Book 2. Lessons Learned in the Mourning. When the valley is darker than it has ever been...when we lose someone we loved, what can we learn? Lessons Learned in the Mourning explores that question. Born from personal experiences, this book dives deep into the issues of loss, yet it also finds hope there.
Book 3. Beauty in a Scorched Land. A journey of stories, pictures, and reflections inspired by time spent working at a medical mission in Africa. What is the place of a Christian in a world full of poverty and struggle? This is a question that the authors have wrestled with and they share their reflections here.

What about Christians and racism?

Doesn't God want ya'll ta be rich and famous?

Don't all those Holy books teach basically the same thing?

Why are Christians so mean?

Who was Jesus really?

What is the point of the Church anyway?

All these questions and more are explored in this short but hard-hitting book.

The goal of this collection of essays is to provoke discussion on ideas that are often overlooked by the modern Church. If you are here looking for personal attacks on famous preachers, you will be disappointed. That ain't what this here's all about. However, if you are looking for an honest exploration of difficult subjects, I'm sure glad you came.

You are the person I wrote I wrote all this for!

Let's sit down and have a discussion.

There's nothing wrong with searching for the truth.

In fact, the only thing more frightening than the truth is never finding it.
