This review is from: Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul (Paperback)

This book is a full, complete and honest examination of the human heart as it exists apart from God, lost in it's self-idolatry, rationalizations, and pretensious preferences. It is a straight on look at mankinds rebellion toward God exibited by a lifetime of non-nutritious indulgences at the preferred fleshly "slop" trough of our self-centered and entitled arrogant efforts and dawdlings. It is a compassionate and provacative appeal from one man saved by grace to the unsaved...to accept this unfathomable and precious gift of salvation which God offers through faith in Christ. An offer that He makes in tender compassionate love to all who will recieve it. The author extends to both the nominal professing believer and the most rabid sinner an opportunity to put aside pretense and take an honest look at oneself in the light of our holy and righteous God and Creator. He describes the gift of salvation as an exchange of abundant relational life in God, and that eternally, for the acceptace of the gift and repentance and turning away from sin. It is a look at the gift, the character of the Giver, and the choices to be made in our short pilgrimage on earth which will have direct affect the grace of our life now, the attitude of our dying and the way in which we each will enter into eternal life. in dying and in our eternal life. Eternity will be a comforting and joyfilled existence as worshippers and friends of God or it will be a terrible encounter with a righteous Judge and executioner who will not let the wicked and rebellious sinner go unpunished. He has observed our thoughts, motives and actions throughout our lifetime and cannot be decieved by our excuses and lies. He has given us freely every ability we have, and every good gift we have recieved and forborn with us in hope that we would turn to him. The book takes the reader through a rational consideration of the pro's and con's of this decision to be made
with an attitude of hope and words of truth and grace. Excellent in every way.

This review is from: The Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul (Summit Books) (Paperback)

A very hard book to find but Amazon came through. Probably one of the best books ever written on christianity. Will read it again and again. The author of this book had a positive influence on C.S. Lewis. Read the book and you will see why.
