This E-book of the text of Dr. Rosenbladt's presentation by the same name is tailor-made for all those folks who are "mad" at and "sad" about Christianity BECAUSE they have been "baited and switched" by the church.

If the Ten Commandments were not impossible enough, the preaching of Christian behavior, of Christian ethics, of Christian living, can drive a Christian into despairing unbelief. Not happy unbelief. Tragic, despairing, sad unbelief. (It is not unlike the [unhappy] Christian equivalent of "Jack Mormons" - those who finally admit to themselves and others that they can't live up to the demands of this non-Christian cult's laws, and excuse themselves from the whole sheebang.) A diet of this stuff from pulpit, from curriculum, from a Christian reading list, can do a work on a Christian that is (at least over the long haul) "faith destroying."

In this short and concise text, Dr. Rosenbladt tackles what plagues many 'recovering Christians'. Sticking to his unchanging theme of 200-proof Gospel, using his own history as an agnostic "outsider" to Christianity, Dr. Rosenbladt delivers the grace of the cross with all its potency, undiluted.

Though this is a relatively short read, it is staggeringly potent. If you've struggled with your faith in your church because of what you're seeing and hearing (and maybe don't even go to church anymore), you don't want to miss this powerful address - an unabashed analysis of the church today and what it is doing to many believers - from one who has experienced it himself.

Are we Christians saved the same way we were when we were baptized into Christ, or when we came to acknowledge Christ's shed blood and His righteousness as all we had in the face of God's holy law? That all of our supposed "virtue" - Christian or pagan - is just like so many old menstrual garments (to use the Bible phrase)? But that God imputes to those who trust Christ's cross the true righteousness of Christ Himself? We are pretty sure that unbelievers who come to believe this are instantly justified in God's sight, declared as if innocent, adopted as sons or daughters, forgiven of all sin, given eternal life, etc. But are Christians still saved that freely? Or are we not? We are pretty clear that imputed righteousness saves sinners. But can the imputed righteousness of Christ save a Christian? And can it save him or her all by itself? Or no?

For all of you who have been given morality lessons instead of the Gospel, read how Dr. Rod Rosenbladt succinctly presents Christianity as first and foremost a genuine truth claim about Christ as our righteous substitute, instead of a never ending list of popular religious recipes for personal success.
