The Solution of Choice
The Solution of Choice
Nearly five hundred years ago, the church made a sharp left turn in response to the Enlightenment. This shift created a skewed paradigm that has left the church offering solutions for character change that have not worked.
There are far too many Christians living as if real character change will only happen on the other side of eternity. But what if Christ-likeness was meant to be a reality in this life?
Is it really necessary for so many Christians to feel like the best they can do is hold on until they die?
In The Solution of Choice, Dr. Marcus Warner and Dr. Jim Wilder will see how four great Enlightenment ideas neutralized the church and how something we all know but rarely understand can bring us transformed lives.

I found this book to be an insightful expose' into what went wrong with the Western Church and its theology as a result of the Enlightenment. As I look in the Bible as a mirror for the Western Church, we are not looking more like Biblical disciples of Christ. This book unlocks a lot of the reasons why and points to how we need to change. Thank you Marcus and Jim for writing this!

This is a great book. Marcus Warner & Jim Wilder have produced a book that gives us an
quick analysis of church history. They reveal how the Church has gotten off track and abandon it's God given foundation of love. Their understanding of how God created our brains gives us major clues of how to present the gospel. It also gives us how to real our true earthly goal of making disciples not after our images but, after Jesus' image. This book gives us clues of how to design local churches. Denominations should redesign their structures to foster the 'love attachment' model which is the essence of God vs. religious tradition and secular culture. God continues to call the church back to His roots of OT
hesed and NT agape love. By learning how to live these truths we can transform the world
with the true gospel and bring 'heaven to earth' as Jesus prayed in the Lord's Prayer (Matt 6:10). Way to go guys, you have hit a grand slam home run!

Reviving the Western Church
This little book just might revive the Western church as we know it.
In this quick read, we come to understand where cultural ideas have influenced the church, creating false ideologies that have left our spiritual communities powerless to transform people's lives.
And THEN, it outlines a new way of living into Christian maturity and joyful community.
Do you want to learn how to love God and love one another with your whole heart? The Solution of Choice can set you firmly on that path!
I have given all the leaders in my church a copy for Christmas and am looking forward to generating some wonderful conversations.
