Dwight Robertson

NCLA Review - The author’s intent is to set Christianity back 2000 years. Robertson’s main theme is that today’s Christians should act like Christ by really seeing people. He asserts that Christians merely look through ordinary people they meet such as clerks, waiters, and bank tellers without thinking about their lives and their stories and without recognizing them as individuals and showing concern. It all adds up to each individual Christian being God’s Plan A to spread his love in the world. The device he uses to make his point is a series of stories. The author especially addresses people who have not gotten involved in Kingdom building because they think they can’t make significant contributions. While the material is not new, the stories are compelling and could serve as a guide to a reader seeking to be more Christ-like. Rating: 3 —AMB… (mer)
