How do you see the world? As lots of great vacation spots? As millions of people with problems too big to imagine? Missionary Paul Borthwick just might expand your view--or even explode it. He asks six dynamite questions that challenge you to look more closely at other countries, other cultures, other ethnic groups and other ways of acting on your faith. Dangerous Question #1: Who Is Jesus? Dangerous Question #2: Do I Believe in Heaven? Dangerous Question #3: Do I Believe in Hell? Dangerous Question #4: Does Christianity Matter? Dangerous Question #5: Do I Believe That God Wants to Use My Life? Dangerous Question #6: Whose Agenda Will I Live By? Don't be fooled. Borthwick's questions may seem obvious. But have you really thought about your answers to them before? Have you thought through how your answers are connected to work, family, money, friends, or education? Don't panic. Answering the questions Borthwick poses won't result in your immediate departure for the jungle or the desert--probably. But answering will very likely cause you to reorder your priorities, refocus your interests and even change your everyday choices: what to read, what to buy, what to do over the weekend. That's why reading this book is dangerous. But, then, Jesus never promised that following him would be risk-free. Only that there would be joy.

The Answers To These Questions Determine How We Live,
By Conservative Mom (Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Six Dangerous Questions to Transform Your View of the World (Paperback)
Paul Borthwick asks his readers to consider six fundamental questions:
Who is Jesus? Do I believe in Heaven? Do I believe in Hell? Does Christianity matter? Do I believe that God wants to use my life? Whose agenda will I live by? These may seem basic, even simple, but they're not. Many Christians believe the answers intellectually, but then live their lives as if they believed something else entirely. What is your real worldview, and where did it come from? How would your life be different if you actually LIVED as if Heaven was your true home? How would your witness be different if you truly believed Hell was a real place, and many people you knew were headed there? This book is easy and concise enough to read in one sitting, but readers are encouraged to take the time to ponder each question, rather than breeze through the short chapters. Kudos to Paul Borthwick for challenging believers to take a hard look at what they believe, and then actually LIVE it.
