We often talk about how Satan and his followers are working constantly to hinder the cause of Christ, but Mark believes that Christians may be doing more harm than anyone without even realizing it.
In The 10 Dumbest Things Christians Do (Nelson, 2006), Mark identifies ten foolish mistakes many Christians make, sometimes on a daily basis, that hinder the kingdom, frustrate God, and give the devil an unlimited supply of ammunition to use against us. These mistakes, though devastating, often go unnoticed because they have been accepted without challenge for so long. Many have become so deeply ingrained in the culture of the church that they seem normal and healthy.
Mark's fans will be happy to know that this book is written in his trademark style: hard hitting, yet filled with splashes of humor, heartwarming anecdotes, and lots of Scripture.
The 10 Dumbest Things Christians Do promises to be one of the most talked about books of 2006. With a study guide included, it would be perfect for small group studies or reading groups. Pastors will definitely want to read this book, for the ten blunders it exposes are the very reasons why so many churches are not growing.
