Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Beginning with a trumpet call for revival and reformation, the authors confront those things in the church that have become points of false reliance and substitutes for God and call us back to worship of the one true God.

5.0 out of 5 stars We need more books like this, July 31, 2000
By james cordrey (ardmore, pa United States) - See all my reviews
No God But God is a comprehensive book that examines from all angles the current trends in Evangelicalism. And the analysis is quite "spot on" to borrow a phrase from a British friend.

This book, which is a collection of essays, is a great companion piece to Addicted to Mediocrity by Franky Schaeffer and Fit Bodies, Fat Minds by Os Guinness. All three books are unaplogetic in their critique of the modern church - and the thinking Christian owes it to himself / herself, the church and God to read these books.

In No God But God, various writers reveal the ways in which corporate business marketing and growth models have infiltrated the church and been adopted wholeheartedly to the church's detriment. As one who used to work in ministry, i found this book uncannily accurate. Unfortunately, in my experience, the momentum behind things like the church-growth movement has become so strong that the necessary reflection that is required to stop and digest the material in this book is such that most in ministry will not read this book.

Examining the failed politization of the church in the 1980s, the history of Christians failing to love God with their minds and the trap that Modernism poses to the church and the Gospel, this book has something for everyone to wrestle with.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Collection of Essays, February 7, 2002
A brilliant collection of essays by some of the greatest minds in the Evangelical church. Idolatry is and always has been the single greatest enemy of the people of God, and this century is no different. The only problem, it seems, is that Christians have become blind to modern day idols. Modern sources of authority such as politics, psychology, management theory and marketing have crept into the church and captivated her, and this is what Os Guinness and his friends warn us against. This is a highly accurate critique of the God-substitute epidemic that has spread among Christians in the past decade, and it calls us back to a place where we will serve no god but the true God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding statement on the position of the church!, February 3, 1999
By A Customer
This book addresses the idols of our age, and the idols that have become more important than the cause of Christ in the church - politics, professionalism, education, etc. We have a dread of "The Same Old Thing", as C.S. Lewis put it so eloquently. I found this book to be quite insightful and informative.
