Synopsis

How did Christ imagine church and faith? Did he imagine

the Sunday-Christian or the wholly immersed believer?

In this book, Bob Hostetler tells readers to QUIT GOING TO

CHURCH, and renew their walk of faith.

What drives people to enter the doors of churches every Sunday? It could be habit, living up to expectations, a sense of duty, or even guilt. People seem to be living "churchanity" rather than Christianity.

This thought provoking and "pull-off-the-gloves" book is based on the premise that much of how we think and act, a great percentage of what we do these days as church-going people, bears only a slight resemblance to the way of Jesus and "the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 1:3). With titles like "Quit Going to Church" and "Quit Sharing Your Faith," each chapter issues an eyebrow-raising challenge, showing how many of us have misunderstood even distorted the Good News of Jesus and replaced Christianity with something else.
