Publisher Description
I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of the God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16 // With this verse, John MacArthur begins to remind us of C.H. Spurgeon’s warning in 1800’s England. “Everywhere there is apathy. Nobody cares whether that which is preached is true or false. A sermon is a sermon whatever the subject; only, the shorter it is the better.” Charles Haddon Spurgeon // Until all that changes, until we return to our calling to go into all the world and preach the Gospel without shame, the Church is in danger of losing its impact on society. And that would be our generation’s greatest loss.

"Covering how the modern Church has turned from the saving Gospel; a repetition of a "Down-Grade Syndrome" in Spurgeon's days. Talks about seeker-sensitive and pragmatic methods in drawing souls to the church but not making part of the Church. Great book!!!"

" Outstanding book. Pastor MacArthur is not afraid to address issues confronting the church today. A must read for those who are dissatified with the direction the church is taking. I do not know where my stars went but I give it 4 stars. "

" I listened to the audio version. Great book on the shallow methods of reaching the lost that have plagued evangelicalism and fundamentalism. Shows the impact it has had on our culture and the Gospel. "
— Wesley, 6/22/2012 -
" True to himself John MacArthur delivers another great book. Its nothing he has not said before but its a message well needed in this ever so troubling "contextualization" era of the church. "
