In So Great Salvation, Dr. Ryrie also addresses many questions raised by those who hold to the lordship salvation position. Does Jesus have to be the Lord of every area of our lives before we are saved? What about backslidden Christians? What is 'easy-believeism?'

From the Back Cover

TRUE OR FALSE?

-A guy has to look out for himself
-What's true for you may not be true for me
-My neighbor keeps to himself, so I keep to myself
-Looking ag pornography won't hurt
-Living together before marriage makes sense

Do you agree with any of these statements?  Many American men do--and even among men who follow Jesus, a growing number live by these principles.

So what if we told you these statements are false?

We live in a crisis culture; a land of diversity where truth and morals are relative.  On the outside, this relativity looks like freedom.  But in reality, it keeps us from being the leaders we were meant to be.  It keeps us from the truth.

But if the truth be told--truth as God's Word tells truth--Christian men can find the confidence to obey God and live for others, not just themselves.

Promise Keepers President Tom Fortson speaks boldly in this honest, direct call to men to battle for the truth in every area of their lives.  Find out how to reawaken your passion to serve Jesus, your family, and those around you at work and in the community.  Learning to do so will change not just your own life, but the lives of those around you.
Let the truth be told.
