Summary: Civility among Christians
Review: Mouw delves into a helpful critique of how people, especially people who profess to be Christians, can interact in the world in a positive and helpful manner. The book is an easy read that humbly critiques as well as offers ideas for insightful ways of seeing how one's belief system can be developed to promote respect and positive civil discourse. I found especially helpful his description of the problem of "triumphalism" which is a concern to me in our society. This is a good read that will promote solid self-examination in a fresh manner. I felt edified and challenged after I had read the book, and I recommend it as an individual reading as well as reading the book as a group.

Summary: a gross misrepresentation of what it is to be a christian
Review: Mouw treats the 'non-believing' community as though they are perversions of what it is to be a human being. His dealings with sex are niave and faulty, furthermore his notion of people going to hell, that it is necessary to show the seriousness of sin, is devoid of christian love, and turns God into a petty vindictive and powerfull adversary to humanity rather than a loving and caring creator. In short, i am apauled by Maouw, and further apauled by the other fundi's like him.

Summary: This must be good
Review: Sometimes negative reviews urges me to buy a book as quickly as a positive one -- it depends on the reason why people hate the book. Given the previous passionately negative review, I know that this book must be good, and affirms the Christian position in opposition to liberal distortions. I am putting it in my shopping cart right away.I would also recommend books by Gordon Clark and Vincent Cheung. Search the web for "trinity foundation" and "vincent cheung", and I think you will find them. Cheung's books are free for download.
