Book Synopsis
So you thought if you said it nicer, they would like you more? You thought if you only said it in certain places, they would accept you on major platforms? You believed that if you were a politically correct Christian, you could still be one of them. Well, there is no such thing as a "politically correct" Christian. The anoint- ing that you have on the inside of you, called the Holy Spirit, doesn't just anoint you to be received. You are also anointed to be rejected. This was the ministry of John the Baptizer. His life and Kingdom ministry demonstrate to the Kingdom-minded believer that Kingdom ministry will breed controversy.
However, the controversy won't always come from the world- it will come from the religious who love their tradition more than the Gospel of the Kingdom of Christ. If you have ever been afraid to be the anointed Kingdom-minded believer that the King of kings and LORD of lords, Jesus Christ, has called you to be out of fear of being misunderstood and rejected, this book is for you before you give up on your purpose and Kingdom assignment.

"I have only known Elder Curtis Bracey for just a short period but it's like I have known him all his life. I admire his passion and Love for Christ. This book has transformed my life to the next level both Spiritually and Naturally. This is a must-read book that will encourage and inspire you to be all that you can in life. It is power-packed with God's endorsement of anointing." - Dr. Frances Laverne Hamilton B.R.E., B.TH, D.Div
"Whether you are new to the body of Christ or a seasoned scholar, it is refreshing to go back to the principles of life and living in the Kingdom
of God. Elder Bracy's examination of the Kingdom of God and its principles makes biblical truths and people who follow biblical truths seem controversial, but the truth is always contentious. I enjoyed the fresh approach to old truths. This book is based on biblical reality, not religious fantasy. This book will enrich and strengthen believers from all walks and backgrounds." - District Elder Mark K. Sanders, Pastor of
Refuge Church of Christ, New York
"Many today have the wrong view when it comes to Christianity. They act as though we should be passive when it comes to things we see going on around us in the culture etc. They completely miss the fact that The Christian message is inherently counter-cultural and that its Founder was radical and said controversial things. Many today are so far removed from the pattern that Jesus left us that they struggle with the word "controversy". Controversy for controversy's sake may be problematic, but controversy for what is just is in line with The Message Jesus taught. That Message? The Kingdom. Jesus came declaring a Kingdom, The Kingdom of GOD. Living in this context calls for radical obedience and radical living. Radical in the sense that The Kingdom life is a life that is counter to the culture and the ways of this present age. This is what Elder Curtis Bracy is wanting to get us to understand with this publication. That along with wanting to get us to not only question to discover our place in the unfolding story of GOD'S Divine Plan." - Apostle Julius Rhinehart, Pastor of Back to Eden Deliverance Ministries
