THE CHURCH IS A MESS. This book explains why Christianity is simply not working for so many people. (Hint: There is nothing wrong with God or the Bible - and there is probably nothing wrong with you either.) For decades the Church has been led by people who understand the traditions of men but not the desires of God. They teach that God demands our financial sacrifices; but not that He is Jealous for our affection. The church can no longer guide its' own members into righteousness, peace and joy - yet continues to pretend that it has the knowledge of God that the world is so desperately in need of. Many people - outside and inside the church - see organized religion as little more than an overpriced social club. What has gone wrong? This book: Exposes TITHING as RELIGIOUS ROBBERY. Contains firsthand accounts of how the church is mishandling its membership, message, and money. Describes the four pillars of presumption that support the deceptive, counterfeit church. Encourages believers to reclaim the personal freedom that is part of their spiritual birthright. Offers suggestions to recreate and revitalize the church as we know it.
