Entertaining, insightful look at what's wrong with Christianity today I'm Fine With God...It's Christians I Can't Stand by Bruce Bickel & Stan Jantz is a terrific conversation starter just for the title alone! The two authors dig into the reasons why so many people, even other Christians, don't like Christians, and how the term Christian has become almost distasteful because of guilt by association. By tackling topics like the Prosperity Gospel, judgmental attitudes, and Christians who create entire lives for themselves removed from the rest of the world, the authors are sure to make some enemies with this book. But I loved this book. It's hard to be a Christian today, and much of it is because of just these attitudes! Bickel & Jantz address each variety bad example with anecdotal evidence and then provide Scriptural support for how God would view this behavior and what we need to do about it. Their sense of humor is both deprecating and devastatingly on target. This is a rare Christian book for both believers and non-believers. Believers can search their own hearts for what needs to be changed. Non-believers can read nodding their heads in agreement at the bad behavior while learning about what God's real message is about it. This was one book I couldn't wait to read each night and had a hard time putting down.
