Title: Getting Back to the Roots
Review: In my short lifespan I have heard many Church of Christ folks saying, "we need to get back to our roots!" But if they actually knew what their roots where, they might not want to go there. This book gives Chrisitanity a major history check. If you have ever wanted to know why a church does "this" or "that," then this book is for you. My eyes were widened after I read about the origins of some of the practices I was raised on. However, this book is not for the faint-of-heart. I say that because it can really shake you up about Christianity; it might even make you angry or bitter towards Christianity. But that was not the purpose of this book. I feel the purpose was to help people have a more educated understading of why congregations do what they do and where that practice came from. The authors are not trying to tell you what you are practicing is wrong, they just want you to know why you do it and how it started. Good read!
