The Solution of Choice

Book excerpt: Is the goal to manage character or change it? Nearly five hundred years ago, the church made a sharp left turn in response to the Enlightenment. This shift created a skewed paradigm that has left the church offering solutions for character change that have not worked. There are far too many Christians living as if real character change will only happen on the other side of eternity. But what if Christ-likeness was meant to be a reality in this life? Is it really necessary for so many Christians to feel like the best they can do is hold on until they die? In this book we will see how four great Enlightenment ideas have neutralized the church and how something we all know but rarely understand can bring us transformed lives.
