As times change, so too has the Christian faith and its various branches and churches, but the author of this book warns that there is more to salvation than merely being counted among the believers. Seeing many modern churches as adopting a new form of Calvinism, the warnings are laid here for any who will read them that it takes more than simply accepting Christ in order to land on the right side of the Final Judgment. This is not to say that it is too late to change course or that everything is doom and gloom, but rather that a true Christian must pledge obedience to the Lord and truly follow his words and examples.

This brief treatise reminds readers that actions are louder than words, and worship involves a lot more than just attending Sunday service and being lured in by flashiness. The author’s position is not to condemn those who have fallen into a comfortable lifestyle and consider themselves practicing Christians but rather those who have led people to believe that this is faithful enough. Drawing on scriptural passages such as the parables, the letters of Paul, the book of Hebrews, and more, a wealth of examples are given to back the position presented.

One of the key points of emphasis is on the discovery of the author of what is known as Storge Love, a concept that may be new to many by name alone. This kind of familial connection instills the necessity for obedience and respect that will lead Christians to a closer relationship with God while also providing a real-world template for how to make decisions that would please him. Readers looking for new spiritual ideas without losing touch with their beliefs will be given assurances and plenty to think about here.
