Mark of the Christian Audiobook

" Short, convicting, convincing, recalibrating. "

" Very inspiring and challenging. Helps you understand the importance of 2 Corinthians 10:5. "

" I liked his apologetics titles a tad better. "

" "The observable practice of truth and the observable practice of love go hand in hand with the proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ." "

" This is a very short, yet thorough (and quite convicting) study on loving others the way Christ commanded us to. I would recommend any Christian who is striving to live godly to pick this one up. "

" Are you a Christian? Then you better read this one! "

" This book is a very simpile statement on what it means to be a Christian: love God and love other people. "

" Amazing read. Highly reccomended. "

" True, Truth. This book was a healing balm after a situation involving spiritual abuse. "

" Great book and an easy read. "

" He says that the mark of the Christian is love. I think he had it right on the money. "

" A bite size book that's really just an extended essay, it manages to still be relevant all these years later. "

" I read this from Schaeffer's complete works. Outstanding. "

" I really just love this little book. It is short, a one sitting book, but what a book. Schaeffer points us to the mark that Christ said those who are his would have and the watching world would see, love. I have read this several times never coming away empty. "

" I really liked this book, even though I think Schaeffer was missing one of the most important meanings of "loving one another": that is, loving a believer in Christ for righteousness sake (see 1 John 3:12). But overall, it was very good and I truly appreciate Francis Schaeffer. "

" This may be the first book I've read by Schaeffer. Good on love, good on forgiveness. Bothered by some of the backpedaling he does to maintain his understanding of "justification by faith", but otherwise a good book. "

" this little book is a must read for all Christians. It was interesting to read after all the controversy over Rob Bell's recent book. "

" A good, quick read. It wasn't rocket science, but it was right on the money. As Schaeffer kept saying, the idea he was presenting was simple, but not easy. Well worth the time to read because it was so short. I think if it was longer I may have lost interest before finishing it. "

" This book is one that Christians should read. It speaks of love. What it is and what it isn't and how non-Christians are will judge our Christianity based on this kind of love. Very clear and insightful book. "

" This is a short, frank explanation of the kind of person Jesus commands his followers to be; in relationship to God, the Church and the world. I really like how Schaeffer analyzes the wrong things Christians in the Church believe that cause the failings of the Church on a large scale. "

" Read for Contemporary Christian Belief. "

" This is an outstanding book, if you could even call it that. In so few pages Schaeffer reminds us what so many have forgotten. Please read this. "

" Even when I was 19, I gathered that this book was pretty crap. "

" A must read! I love Shaeffer's way of clarifying history's events and how it all points to the existence of a God who not only created us, but loves us today and always. "

" Loved it. Brought so much sense to my faith and offered me challenges in living my life in a more God-centered way "

" Originally published in 1976. Subtitle: The rise and decline of Western thought and culture. If you aren't motivated to read the whole book, at least read the last 3 chapters. Its predictions for the state of our culture--made 30 years ago--are proving to be eerily accurate. "

" Excellent introduction to a Christian worldview. A broad foundation for one's perspective of history, polictics, art etc. Francis Schaeffer is a brilliant christian philosopher who offers amazing insight in this book. Easy enough to read for the novice yet deeply profound. "

" Superb if you want to undersatnd the development of western thought as it manifests itself in art and culture generally. "

" It's the history of Western civilization that nobody teaches anymore. I'm grateful for that, but I certainly needed to remind myself of the gospel for some hope after I finished it. Our culture is in a depressing place. "

" Definitive book on "the Rise and Decline of Western Thought" "
