The 10 Dumbest Things Christians Do
With wit, humor, candor, and insight, Mark Atteberry has written a straightforward book that needs to be read by many “Christians.” This is an extremely readable book that touches on many of the ways Christians today sling mud on the Church, the Bride of Christ. I just so happen to see a bumper sticker today that read, “Jesus called, He wants His religion back.” And I think the message of this book will be a wake up call to those who do dumb and harmful things in the name of Christianity.
I have thoroughly read the books reviewed here. Most of the books I read are chosen because I feel they are vital for ministry, ministry leaders, and growing Christians. Sometimes I will review a book for others who have asked my opinion. Sometimes I will just pick up a book at random.
How I rate books
(*****) 5 stars is a must read for ministry leaders. Absolutely spend the money to buy the book and make it part of your library
(****) 4 stars is an important read. You will benefit from what you read and learn
(***) 3 stars is an average read. I think you'll get something out of the book that you may or may not get else where
(**) 2 stars is a take it or leave it read. You will probably be disappointed if you spent the money and took the time to read it
