Description
Smuggling Jesus Back into Church is a polemical but hope-filled guide from Andrew Fellows that explores how Jesus has been forgotten in the modern church - and how we can put him back at its heart.
Reviews
This hard-hitting book uncovers the subtle, and not-so-subtle ways the surrounding world can creep into the church. Fellows builds on his years of experience in ministry to help Christians identify these pressures to conform. He is particularly severe against different forms of the prosperity gospel, from peddlers of self-confidence to salvation through busyness. He brilliantly introduces us to the historical forces that got us to where we are. But he goes beyond diagnosis and on to the cure: more of Jesus. This should lead to deep antidotes such as the sense of wonder, and a direct gaze at the supernatural. This excellent book needs to be read by every believer. -- William Edgar, Professor Emeritus of Apologetics, Westminster Theological Seminary
Insightful and convicting, Andrew Fellows's soulful intellect opens our eyes to our cultural moment and calls us home to a life centred in Christ. -- Philip Miller, senior pastor, The Moody Church, Chicago
I have already found myself wanting to give this book to others at least a dozen times. I truly think every seminary student, every church leader, indeed every Christian who is concerned to discover why the church has lost its countercultural impact, and what can be done about it, should read Smuggling Jesus Back into the Church. -- Dr James Paul, director of L'Abri Fellowship, England
