McLachlan It i encouraging to read a well -wrilten book on Fundamentalism. Dougl as McLachlan, a biblical fundamentali t, wri tes wi th a genuine love for authentic fundamentalism, evident in the spirit wi th which he identifies the weakne e that have plagued the move1nent in the last several decades. His con1ment are accurate and ironic. He addre e the various spiri ts of dominance, combati ve– ness, shal low exegesi , and petty legalism that have done a great di er– vi ce to our Lord and to His church. The author i s to be commended for the way he corrects these damaging attitudes with Scripture. The book leaves no tone unturned, either in i ts diagno i of the sins that have affected the movement or in its prescription of what mu t take place for God to bring revi val . The author offers a careful plan for reclaiming the truth , bringing the Word of God to bear on the critical area thal are the hallmark of every work of God. Godl y leader hip i s reaffinned as e sen– tial . Careful and intelligent al tention to the whole coun el of God i offered a the alternati ve to "getting a text, and getting a fit. " FundamentaJists are called back to evangeli r11 and challenged to pay attention to where people really are today . The chapter titled, " In1ple11enting Authentic Separation" i excellent. The book doe not get caught up in irnple fonnula , but i careful to lay out olid biblical reason upon which to ba e both personal and eccl esiasticaJ eparation. Reading the book i s easy . Ilumble implementation will demand the work of our great God. --Reviewed by Pastor Ti,n Kenoyer Cliainnan, Council of Twelve Raptured By Youth Sponsors by Darrell Lenox H ave you ever had to get up real l y early? 1 l ow about l :30 a.m .?
