DESCRIPTION

Synopsis from SKS Books: 

The droning of perpetual slumber ringing in the ears of the church, the sleeping of a thousand years within the very halls of Christendom...

From the birth of Christianity in the very cradle of the Hebrew people to the genesis of the institutional church, from the dawn of the Reformation within the very stranglehold of medievalism to the outbreak of the church in postmodern rags - Christendom has been in slumber.

With the exception of the occasional revival that has peppered religion throughout the pages of history...life has always been the status quo...just as it has always been.

In today's world, followers of Christ are pretty much the same as the unchurched...we encounter the same challenges, the same heartaches. Just like the rest of the world, many of us are unhappy...some depressed...some miserable.

In Ted Dekker's first non-fiction work to date, his is a clarion call to revive the dying embers of a long-forgotten passion. The passion of primal religion...the embattled warrior's cry of the disciples against a world waiting to be raptured with Christ's love.

Disillusionment and lacklustre dreams have lulled many a Christian into apathy. The pleasures of this abundant life that Christ promised have seemed to elude us.

Or is it...?

Peruse through this fascinating book and listen to the bells of awakening...now..!
