Back to Basics - by Douglas Wilson & Douglas M Jones (Paperback)

About the Book

The church in America refuses to grow up. We are known for women's ordination, emotionally unhealthy worship services, and childish skits replacing the sermon. We are the Corinthians, refusing Paul's offer of meat to drink our milk instead. Back to Basics is a resource for pastors and laymen to mature in the Reformed faith of our fathers, covering topics such as conversion, covenant, church, and the Christian life. If we can return to the basics now, our nation's churches will be known for men with gravitas in the pulpits, for glorious and loud congregational singing, and, by God's grace, for generations of faithful families. If we cannot get the basics right, the church will starve, and God will have to work with the ashes instead.

Book Synopsis

The church in America refuses to grow up.

We are known for women's ordination, emotionally unhealthy worship services, and childish skits replacing the sermon. We are the Corinthians, refusing Paul's offer of meat to drink our milk instead.

Back to Basics is a resource for pastors and laymen to mature in the Reformed faith of our fathers, covering topics such as conversion, covenant, church, and the Christian life. If we can return to the basics now, our nation's churches will be known for men with gravitas in the pulpits, for glorious and loud congregational singing, and, by God's grace, for generations of faithful families.

If we cannot get the basics right, the church will starve, and God will have to work with the ashes instead.
