Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2011

Johnnie Moore, vice president and campus pastor of Liberty University, inspires readers with an enthusiastic challenge to live out fully what they say they believe as Christians.

In his uniquely confessional tone, Johnnie takes readers on a journey of belief from the hilltop home of the Dalai Lama to a mass grave of more than 250,000 people in Rwanda. He dares to address the doubts and challenges that have turned many well-intentioned Christians into hypocrites. Like a good pastor, Moore helps heal the wounds he opens, and he leaves his reader with one curious question, "What could happen if the world's Christians actually began to live what they say they believe?"

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Johnnie Moore has given us an honest, believable book on what the Christian lifestyle is all about. I highly recommend it."
GARY CHAPMAN
author of The Five Love Languages

"I am convinced that Jack (my stepfather C.S.Lewis) would both enjoy and applaud this book... there are a few exceptional writers around who can still thrill me with what they have to say and the luminescent clarity of how they are saying it and Johnnie Moore has just joined that small band."
DOUGLAS GRESHAM
Stepson, C.S. Lewis, Executive Producer, The Chronicles of Narnia

"Honestly is provocative and compelling--a godsend to a generation that is searching for truth. I hope everyone I know can read this book."
JOSH MCDOWELL
author of Evidence That Demands a Verdict and More than a Carpenter

"I am breathing a huge sigh of relief for the next generation with leaders like Johnnie at the helm. This book will challenge all generations to get real in their walk with Christ."
GARY SMALLEY
author of The Blessing and The DNA of Relationships

"Johnnie Moore writes with a refreshing passion. His perspective on mission is first-rate, and his chapters on suffering and failure are reason alone to pick up this book."
LUIS PALAU
world evangelist

“Johnnie Moore encourages all followers of Christ to be real and to live with passion…His insights can help you take positive steps out of your own faith crisis.”
JAMES ROBISON
President, LIFE Outreach International

"Johnnie Moore writes with wisdom and insights far beyond his years. This new book gives us all a lot to think about and put into action. Start reading and achieving."
PAT WILLIAMS
senior vice president, Orlando Magic
author of Coach Wooden: The 7 Principles That Shaped His Life and Will Change Yours

"This is first-century Christianity in twenty-first-century narrative. Engaging. Interesting. Fun. Challenging. Biblical. This book gets it right!"

president, National Association of Evangelicals
pastor, Wooddale Church

I am honored to be the first to write a review here, because this book is anointed, touched by God, to speak a clear and needed word to those of us who claim to know the person of Jesus Christ. The essential message of "Honestly" is that what the world needs most is genuine, authentic Christians who really live like they believe what they say they believe. Simply put, hypocrisy is the biggest hurdle to reaching the world with the gospel. The author asks an important question, one that echos throughout each page..."What if we really lived what we said we believed?" This translates into areas of social justice, financial stewardship, integrity in relationships, and attitudes and actions towards the people we encounter each day. He weaves painful, personal stories from his own journey of faith into the chapters, helping the reader connect both intellectually and emotionally to the grand idea of living an authentic faith.

If you know someone who is on the outside of the Christian faith looking in...they would resonate with this book. It is raw without being harsh. It is honest without being self-righteous. It is pastoral without being sentimental. And the endorsers of this book alone comprise some of the most respected, faithful, humble and influential Christians in the evangelical world. RUN, don't walk, and get a copy immediately. You will not put it down until you have read every word and marked up every page.

By markn12

Johnnie Moore's thoughtful and challenging book Honestly takes a close look at how to actually live by what you believe, not in theory, but in reality. In a time when the true reality of what it means to be a follower of Christ seems to be quickly dwindling, this book is a seriously important and vital work. Drawing from how the early church followed Jesus, Moore asks questions about how our own twenty-first century lives don't measure up to the kind of dedication and commitment the early Christians displayed.

I found myself challenged and disturbed by some of Moore's honesty, in a way I haven't been with other books of a similar nature. Using his own painful experiences of a broken home and a glib pretence of Christianity as a cover for what was really going on, Moore takes a look at how Christianity often becomes a veneer that hides great pain, loss of faith, or simply a lack of belief that it can actually transform life. He expresses his disappointment with this type of Christianity, and it is this honesty, this willingness to speak the hard truth about our modern Christianity, that gives this book its value and its quality of disturbance. Above all, it perhaps questions our desire to live life undisturbed by our Christianity, to live Christianity on our terms rather than Christ's.

The basis of the book is that it really is possible to live a vibrant, passionate life in Christ that changes your relation to the world and the people around you. Moore addresses my own questions about how faith in modern life seems to lack any relevance, vitality or ability to illuminate and guide one's life. He looks at how suffering, doubt, evil, the frenetic pace and distractions of the digital life, our work, our boredoms, our rebellions and our crises can all be transformed into a real life in Christ that is exciting, alive, and above all, honest.

If you find anywhere within yourself a desire to know how to live a genuine life in Christ outside of all the pretence, of all the loss of belief in its ability to transform, and in a manner that strips away everything about Christianity that is false, boring, and irrelevant, I would highly recommend this book as a starting point.

Format:Paperback
Johnnie's book, Honestly, is a straight up slap in-the-face of what most of us commonly know as American Christianity. True Christianity, as Pastor Moore addresses it, should be full of life, exciting and everyday engaging, but the problem that we face is that, speaking honestly, most of the time, Christianity is not so pleasant. For this reason, Pastor Moore goes right into the center of the issue and brings up the dirty rags that taint most of today's idea of what Christianity looks like. These rags are produced by hypocrisy, and if a true generation of genuine, Bible-believing Christians is to rise, the issue of hypocrisy has to be confronted and addressed.

Through personal experience, stories and quotes, and even humor, Pastor Moore confronts hypocrisy, not only in the general sense of Christianity but also in his own life. The book brings to light the hope of the vision that is enclosed in the question: "What would happen if Christians really lived what they say they believe?" Johnnie is convinced that this type of Christianity would change and turn the world upside-down in a matter of days, and if you believe that such a vision for this present generation is possible then you should read this book.
