counterfeit christianity: 8 statements to identify a lukewarm faith
Everyone loves Jesus, as long as you don’t define who he is. Because we pick and choose which parts of Jesus we want to follow, the world has succumbed to a brand of Christianity that not only misrepresents the Jesus of the Bible, but leaves people comfortable, apathetic, and self-sufficient. In Counterfeit Christianity, Ryan walks through 8 different counterfeit statements that challenge whether or not the reader has surrendered to the Jesus of the Bible. In a world full of subjective truths and personal opinions, this book is a call to distinguishing what it truly means to follow Jesus Christ. He calls for all people to evaluate where their heart is and challenges readers to let go of the lukewarm and jump back into a radical, all-in type of faith.
