In God's Garden: ...an allegory - Paperback

by Don Tate (Author)

In God's Garden...an allegory. The Christian church is in tatters. Not only is it failing to adhere to the Word in so many ways, it fails to mount a credible alternative to the pervasive challenge of Islam. While Christian churches fold, mosques are springing up across the Western world. And why? Because those who are called to ministry lack the true moral fibre demanded of them. Consequently, despite the call on their lives, their best intentions, their zeal and commitment- tens of thousands of Christian pastors fall each year across the world. Families are destroyed, churches split or collapse, and lives are broken. How can this be so? In the spirit of The Pilgrim's Progress, Don Tate presents an audacious allegory about church life which analyses this phenomena.
