About this ebook
There are forces that are changing the church. A. W. Tozer warned decades ago of a new wind blowing across the fields of the evangelical church, 'If I see aright, the cross of popular evangelicalism is not the cross of the New Testament. It is, rather, a new bright ornament upon the bosom of a self-assured and carnal Christianity. The old cross slew men; the new cross entertains them. The old cross condemned; the new cross amuses. The old cross destroyed confidence in the flesh; the new cross encourages it'.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An excellent book on the impact of the world's philosophy in the church. The church is buying in to the Market-Driven strategy instead of the truth of God's Word.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Gilley uses Neil Postman's "Amusing Ourselves to Death" to critique the market-driven church. Very interesting and insightful, perhaps a bit of an overstatement, however
