"Lest We Drift" by Jared Wilson
Our April Book of the Month is “Lest We Drift: Five Departure Dangers from the One True Gospel” by Jared Wilson
How do we keep from drifting away from what makes us who we are? How do we even know we're drifting?
In this new book, Jared C. Wilson discusses the potentials and problems with evangelical departures from gospel-centrality. In a variety of ways, on both "the left" and "the right," Wilson outlines these threats from angles sometimes imperceptible at first glance.
As you read Lest We Drift, you will recognize the signs of drift in the faith and teaching, and learn to navigate the five particular dangers prevalent in the church today:
-
persecution complex
-
spiritual dryness
-
superficial faith
-
attractional pragmatism
-
cultural legalism
With biblical wisdom and cultural insight, this book will help you identify these potential hazards in your own Christian life and church; becoming better alert to the need to "pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it" (Heb. 2:1).
