A review by tedfindysz
Letter to the American Church by Eric Metaxas

4.0

Overall, this book was a solid reminder of the modern-day church’s lack of courage and commitment to the Faith God has called us to live up to.

This book explores the connections between the rise of Nazi Germany’s take over by separating church and state and the cowardice of the German church of that time.

I do wish the author went more in depth in the small daily actions of Christian living than simply the Big 2 (sexuality and abortion), because the problems start with the inconsistencies of the small actions.

I would love to hear a charge about the daily examination of the Christian life, the daily carrying of your cross, the meditation of Bible reading, the boldness of witnessing, etc.

Still, this book drew a great connection between the history of cowardly “Christians” and how it’s not so much different today.

He ends with a call of courage and faith to not shy away from speaking with authority and power in the face of today’s evils.
