A Handbook of Practical Christianity Albert G P Omotayo

Due to a kind of spiritual consumerism, the message of the gospel is being packaged for a specific audience: professing but non-practising Christians. Week after week, they listen to sermons on deliverance, healing, prosperity and holiness, never delving into the meat of the gospel. There is a danger in the messages and doctrines that revolve around these isolated aspects of the gospel. Such teachings, while not irrelevant, are overemphasised in today's churches, thus creating spiritual imbalance. In the same way that nutritional imbalance stunts physical growth and development, spiritual imbalance hinders growth to spiritual maturity. These issues are at the heart of A Handbook of Practical Christianity. Basing his text on the book of James, author Albert G. P. Omotayo presents the gospel in its true nature: practicable and simple, but not simplistic.
