Walter J. Chantry

A sober examination of the "ear Tickling" Preaching of another gospel, that is not the Gospel. Man pleasing entertainment. Men are not warned of their damned state, they are not told their thoughts are only evil continually. They are hell bent depraved sinners who cannot save themselves, but are given "easy Steps for self improvement and an abundant life of self-esteem encouragement. God has been disrobed of his Majestic Sovereignty and is a good old buddy that likes everyone and hopes you will like him too.

Yet at its centre is a glorious revelation of the very heart of the gospel. In this brief exposition, previously published in the Banner of Truth magazine, Chantry draws out themes that are timely, challenging, but ultimately full of comfort.… (mer)
