5.0 out of 5 stars Hope for a terminal church, 23 Feb 2002
This review is from: Threshold of the Future: Reforming the Church in the Post-Christian West (Gospel and Cultures) (Paperback)
'The Christian church is dying in the West. This painful fact is the cause of the great deal of avoidance by the Christian community. To use terminology drawn from pastoral care, the terminally sick patient is somewhere between denial and bargaining'.

This is how Mike Riddell, theologian, freelance writer and speaker, begins as he sets out to take his reader on a journey of hard questions for the Western church in the light of the culture around us. How does the Christian community live, worship and evangelise in a changing world which has little regard for the morals, teachings and doctrines of the church, seeing it as just another option amongst many?

Riddell dares to think 'outside the box' which he claims many evangelical Christians find hard to see beyond. He has brilliant observations into the life and structural make up of the church, seeking to 'call back the community of Christ to its radical roots and it's essential character as a missionary body'.

This book will fuel your fire to passionately engage yourself and the church (if you attend one) once again with the people you live and work around, without compromising the message. Riddell seeks to inspire us to think outside of our traditions and experiences, to allow us to see a God who may just be at work in places we never expected him to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars bloody brilliant - concise and to the point. Read it!, 27 Nov 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Threshold of the Future: Reforming the Church in the Post-Christian West (Gospel and Cultures) (Paperback)
Riddell has tackled the subject of what Jesus followers corporately, are supposed to look like, and come up with some profound insights. Put simply they are the simple things that we tend to forget amongst our desire to complicate things as we grow old and 'mature'! Things like, God changing us from the inside out not us changing us by external posturing. This is but simple commentary. Read the book, it speaks for itself. Just buy it for every passionate Christian you know. You will be doing them a big favour and help them maybe not get too sidetracked with all the junk that goes on amongst us all. His message is personal at times, and he admits he is a sinner saved by grace. He also goes onto explain how we all are and continue to be so. This possibly is the greatest concept, that of us each needing a saviour not just once but ongoing. God this is good! Thank you!!! Cheers Mike and I hope to meet you one day. Keep it up brother and go on loving us, even those of us who sruggle with your concepts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, a thoughtful and engaging book on church and cult, 11 July 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Threshold of the Future: Reforming the Church in the Post-Christian West (Gospel and Cultures) (Paperback)
If you are into Christianity, culture and postmodernism then this book is for you. It is thought prevoking and encourages the reader to think ahead about what might be.
