An exercise in compromise

‘This book reads like a novel and packs the wallop of a sledgehammer. I think it is quite possibly the most important book Chuck has ever written’, writes Bill Hybels. J.I. Packer, Rick Warren and a host of others pay similar tributes. It certainly is well written and some of it is excellent. In my view, however, the book is not ‘a clear, concise and compelling summary of what followers of Jesus actually believe’ (Warren) but rather a manifesto for Evangelicals and Catholics Together (ECT).
