Jewusiak has an indisputable talent for language, invoking Fitzgerald ..." We always suspected that Nick was a fool and got everything wrong. This book attempts to set the record straight, in the process revealing Fitzgerald as a racist of appalling ignorance who was his own most pathetic victim.

In the pursuit of trying to produce good fruit in your life, Jesus becomes just another person you need to make happy. This mindset leads to an exhausted and frustrated spirituality. Instead, discipleship should be developing awareness of who you already ...
