Nate Wilson packs a powerful punch in his small book. He shows in a very compelling way some of the flaws of evangelicalism, of which all of Christendom is a part. He points out the shallowness of the sentimentalism which causes a lot of warm, fuzzy feelings but never really drives anyone to action (James 2:14-17). Throughout the book, he shows that the church today cares almost nothing for the physical realm, only caring for that which is spiritual. Christians often say, “My citizenship is in heaven, so nothing on this earth matters.” This is the reason why much of the church today will pray about some need but then never DO anything about it. The church needs both of these if it wants to succeed.
Nate Wilson explains in back of the book that we are part of the Evangelical community ourselves and that “In order to mature, Evangelicals need to move beyond the bumper sticker shallowness of the past four decades and long for true wisdom. Parodying our silliness is one small nudge in that direction. To whom much is given, much is expected.”
