When church and culture look the same...For the many Christians eager to prove we can be both holy and cool; cultural pressures are too much. We either compartmentalize our faith or drift from it altogether—into a world that’s so alluring.Have you wondered lately:Why does the Western church look so much like the world? Why are so many of my friends leaving the faith?How can we get back to our roots?Disappearing Church will help you sort through concerns like these; guiding you in a thoughtful; faithful; and hopeful response. Weaving together art; history; and theology; pastor and cultural observer Mark Sayers reminds us that real growth happens when the church embraces its countercultural witness; not when it blends in.It’s like Jesus said long ago; “If the salt loses its saltiness; it is no longer good for anything…â€

7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Very good read.By DutchieNLDI loved this book. Perhaps not told as well as Black Hawk Down but still very good. Probably it has a lot to do with the fascinating subject. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject matter.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The Life and Time of Pablo EscobarBy CustomerMark Bowden has successfully written an accurate account of the life and death of Pablo Escobar in a way that mesmerizes. It reads like a suspense novel and captures the reader's attention from start to finish. One must frequently remind oneself that the violence and horror of the drug traffic trade in South America was; and is; both real and terrifying. Congratulations; Mr. Bowden; on your in-depth research and account of one of the most influential and corrupt individuals of the 20th century.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Well Written and Excellent AccountBy JustarastaThe book starts with a general narrative of the background of the Andean cocaine trafficking world which was at one point largely run by Pablo Escobar. That's Part one which provides some very useful information. Part two goes into specific actions taken to bring Pablo Escobar in dead. We learn that some of what you see in Narcos is simply not true such as Escobar firing guns while much is confirmed. It's an engrossing story and Bowden's writing makes it easy reading. I enjoyed and would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about the life and death of Pablo Escobar.
