Here is a list of Books and reference sources for Christians who have come out of the message. Add to The list as you see fit: | |||
==BOOKS== | |||
'''"Unmerited Favor"''' by Joseph Prince - This book is the perfect antidote for the legalism of the message. | |||
'''"Crazy Love"''' by Francis Chan - The concept of Christianity as taught in the message can be quite warped. If you are REALLY interested in a relationship with Jesus Christ, you must read this book. The author's introduction to the book is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvtNTUV9O50 here.] | |||
'''"The Forgotten God"''' by Francis Chan - This is about the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the church and is a good read after Crazy Love. | |||
'''"Out of the Cults and Into the Church"''' by Janis Hutchinson - This book has helped people with the relational parts of leaving and the mental "fog" involved in leaving the message. | |||
'''"The Twisted Scriptures"''' by C W Ketcherside - This is a really tough read, but it's short. One example from it is the Amos scripture that talks about "Can two walk together except they be agreed?" This is often taken out of context to mean people who disagree doctrinally should not associate with each other. In the cultural context, the sentence was speaking of the necessity of making an appointment to meet someone (agree to meet up at a certain time) if you were going to journey together. It's part of a poetic list of questions to which the answer is always no, ending with "Does disaster come to a city unless the Lord has done it?" | |||
'''"How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth"''' by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart - In coming out of the Message, it is important to have some idea on how to properly read and interpret Scripture. This book gives a very balanced approach to understanding genre, author's purpose/intention, and other consideration for interpreting Scripture to draw out the original meaning while minimizing our prejudices. | |||
'''"The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse"''' by David Johnson & Jeff VanVonderen - The lessons learned from this book will help a great deal. The chapters on revictimizing victims of abuse as well as the section on leaders getting trapped themselves are very helpful. | |||
'''"Letters to a Devastated Christian"''' by Gene Edwards This is a quick read at roughly 90 pages of large print. | |||
'''"Changes that Heal"''' by Dr. Henry Cloud (a Christian psychologist). Very interesting, very practical, and easy to read. | |||
