Produktbeschreibung
The Church has been under attack for centuries, but probably few times in its history have the threats against the church's survival been as subtle and compelling as today.

Few today realize the radical and revolutionary nature of the Church which our Lord founded and the call he issued for a dynamic allegiance to him and the life-changing commitment he demands of any who would identify with him and his way of discipleship.
