Description
There are two kinds of spirituality in our world: One is Real. The Other is False. One is the manifestation of the old evil foe who has sent many false spiritualities out into the world, and the other is the holy spirituality found only in faith in the one true God. One is a lie, and one is real. But which is which?
Rev. Fisk’s honest and defining book stands on the foundation of Scripture and exposes these seven counterfeit “Christian” rules. In fact, he doesn’t just tell you what the lies are — he marches them boldly into your living room and demonstrates how they are going to ruin your life by twisting your heart, mind, and hands away from the true and real theology of the Lord. The lessons in Broken aren’t easy to learn, but they are vital to the survival of the church.
These rules need to be broken. And breaking the rules has never felt so good.
Advance Praise
“In the manifesto of the Emergent Church Movement,
Brian McLaren described himself as “evangelical, post/protestant, liberal/conservative,
mystical/poetic, biblical, charismatic/contemplative, fundamentalist/Calvinist,
Anabaptist/Anglican, Methodist, catholic” and more. But, as John Pless has
noted, his grand theological synthesis does not include “Lutheran.” But could it
be that the kind of Christianity that best addresses our postmodern times—the
kind that is the most radical, the most relevant, and the most cutting-edge,
the theology that most precisely addresses the spiritual condition of our day
(as well as every other day) and that counters the weaknesses of most American
Christianity (including that of the Emergent Church)—is actually orthodox,
conservative, confessional Lutheranism? That’s the impression one gets from
Rev. Jonathan Fisk’s brilliant, exhilarating book Broken. If you know people,
young or old, who are burnt out from churches and on the verge of giving up on
Christianity (or if you yourself are), get them this book! Quickly!”
