When books get re-printed with a new title it seems as if
the author is looking for a do-over, or trying to capitalize on the different
name and make some extra cash. I’m all for capitalism, book it does seem a
little disingenuous. And I’m not the world’s most effusive when it comes to
self-help, or let-me-tell-you-how-to-be-better books.
Previously published as “Out of the Question … Into the
Mystery,” nothing is lost or overdone in the re-issue. A great read which
raises some very good points and makes some very keen observations.
Mr. Sweet’s exploration of our relationship with God,
starting with faith and working through to our relationship to the spiritual
world hits every note needed for this topic.
The author’s major points can really be found in the
introduction. His assertion that we have transformed the Gospel into “a casual
doctrinal assent that exists independent of a changed life,” is an indictment
and warning to every believer.
This is an excellent book that needs to be in every home and
every pastor’s office.
I was provided this book by Waterbrook/Multnomah publishing
in return for an honest review.
