‘Many of us have confused Christendom, or our little corner of it, with Christ. They are not the same.’
How would you react if every nook and cranny of your heart and mind was exposed? Or what would you do if a searchlight fell on the abuse lurking within your church or organisation? Squirm? Deny its existence? Cover it up? Or, in God’s great mercy, repent and learn? That such a book as this should need to be written is a terrible indictment of our times. Readers must prepare to be examined. And then to examine.
