Deadly Detours - Bob Briner

Abortion. The homosexual agenda. Prayer in public schools. We Christians have pushed these political and social issues to the forefront of our agenda as we fight to change America's attitude toward them. But in doing so, we're expending enormous amounts of time, energy, and money. Is this a productive use of our resources?Bob Briner doesn't think so. He labels issues like these "deadly detours" - priorities that divert Christians from their true calling to share the Gospel. At best, deadly detours steal resources from missions. At worst, they drive people away from Christ rather than attract them to him.In Deadly Detours, Briner calls us back from our sidetracks to the main track of winning souls. "With so much vital work to do, and with so many souls dying without ever having heard a solid presentation of who Jesus is and why he came, it is appalling that Christians spend so much of God's resources on non-issues," he writes. "We must reexamine our priorities, measuring everything we do against what we are uniquely and specifically called to do as followers of Christ."Deadly Detours will help you find your way through today's maze of moral issues to the one cause that is straight, essential, and eternal: the cause of Christ and the Gospel of the kingdom.
