review is from: Life is too short to miss the main point. . . (Paperback)
One of the few Christian books, of which I can say that they have changed my life completely. The German translation of the title is a bit crude (the English original is simply called "Classic Christianity" and it has an extended subtitles), but George is ultimately just a question: tired Christians back to the essence of Christian to remember life. He complained (and unfortunately probably rightly) that many lost the joy of life with God because they see only half of the Christian message: that God forgives debt and all who rely on his grace, as his children takes , is only the beginning. Who after this experience is still trying desperately to avoid sin and live a good Christian, misses the real and not experience what life is made of (and with) Christ, ultimately. With many really good examples and illustrations, and clearly oriented to the Bible, George makes clear that it is not just about ", save them by grace," but only just right to "life of grace" is - and that Christianity anything but dull and frustrating when you realize that. Ultimately, he brings no new insights or lessons (otherwise it would probably be more appropriate skepticism), but he grabs what Paul wrote many centuries ago, in new words and makes it so understandable to us today. (I personally time and again that I read the Bible with different eyes, for me, "Life is too short ..." come under the finger, it is indeed all there in Paul -. I just never had before . read correctly perceived as such) Absolutely -! and Share

review to: Life is too short to miss the main point (Hardcover) ... and have certainly too short to einschlechtes image of God!
I have the English original of this book read and I tend not to blind fan of Christian liter Artur. Reading the book was an object during a sabbatical year and, as it forced upon them. After a short time but I devoured this book, not because it is so amazingly written great, but because Bob George is perfectly possible to bring much to the point, to describe with simple images that you think a regular basis: "Yes, true I myself would have to get on it!
No A book has changed a lot along with other experiences while reading my image of God.
recommend it to anyone who is interested in even close to the Christian faith.

Bob George knows how theologically sound, the basic problem of many staunch Christians to tackle, namely, the frustration of one's life to feel as unsatisfactory and inadequate. The reason? Man succumbs to consciously or unconsciously, the fallacy that our own standards, which are not to others, let alone which God's justice. Bob George uncovers the diverse and fatal mistake of thinking that lead. He points out that the cause is ultimately a mess of God's image. That is, you do not really know 100% pure and completely loved and accepted unconditionally by God and his identity is not about the definition of what Christ has done, but what you make yourself. How can one even if the liberating gospel of grace usually preaches and teaches is only half - to namely the cross. The liberating effects of life from Christ and into the power of his resurrection come as much from the absolute minimum. The biblical teaching of this book can help that Christians can finally say: "No more frustrated" - This book is an eye opener. Who wants to take a first step to find back to first love, you should read this book.
who preaches regularly teaches, or working as a pastor, is also excellent material gets to the hand, which he can use to pass on a truly liberating "good news". Was this review helpful to you?
