 The 67th book of the Bible? July 19, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
While this book fails the canon of scripture, it is still the 67th most important book in the world. This book combines quotes and experiences from hundreds of the greatest theologians ever to live; but more importantly it expounds on scripture to show how people were saved in Biblical accounts. This book could be called a Bible study, a lesson in Hermeneutics, an examination of false gospels, a devotional to Christ, assurance for salvation, a continuity in theologians, but most importantly, a foundation for evangelism. If you're not a believer, read this book to see what historical Christianity believed, if you are a believer read this book to learn how to make more believers. Through it all, this should be the book you read to understand how to approach the Bible's narratives, what the Bible says, and how to use the Bible in Evangelism. If the Bible is a two-edged sword, then "The Way of the Master" is a whet-stone. As an itinerant minister I've purchased 85 of these books so far and never have difficulty handing them out. Where this book goes, revival is sure to follow.
 How can any Christian claim Christ doesn't make your life better? July 10, 2007
19 out of 37 found this review helpful
I was repelled by the seemingly common Christian method of scaring people out of hell (which is the theme of this book based on my observation) and considered myself Agnostic for over two decades. I had given up on Christianity and its seemingly fierce approach of beating down people like myself who were already on the floor. I don't believe introducing non-Christians and skeptics to Jesus with a hard-line technique works. It didn't with me and I needed God in my life as much as anyone else but didn't know it. Jesus did not minister like this and while he was clear about the consequences of sin he also healed, loved, and inspired.
Perhaps some lazy materialistic Christians who erroneously think they are followers would benefit if they ever really believed at all - which is mentioned in the book and I agree with that. But for those of us who already feared hell and connected God with hell more than we connected demonic forces, methodologies used in the Way of the Master (which are not new) only made me more convinced that the Christian God and his angry Son were vengeful and waiting to punish.
Only through the ministry of an ex-heroin addict turned pastor who explained his conversion occurred because Jesus helped him in THIS life and from there he was able to relate to Christ's critical role in our NEXT life was I able to understand Jesus just isn't there to open heaven's door for those who follow Him but to also show us His light in this world as well. The Way of the Master gives the impression that Jesus does not improve people's earthly existence - I may still be raped, murdered, chopped into little pieces and eaten by bears and perhaps even my Golden Retrievers in a time of famine (I wouldn't put it past them). Life is tough, even brutal.
And by the way, this great minister died of liver cancer after suffering for years and still inspired me with his optimism in Christ, speaking to me one week before he died. He died and suffered, and fully in Christ.
However most skeptics and secular folks in this life (at least in America) will never experience the gruesome scenarios described in horrific sadistic detail in this book (9/11 attacks and gang rapes among others). Instead they will live relatively comfortable lives with the common losses we all experience and will relentlessly seek materialism and things of the flesh because while they have their wants met, their needs are not. Those are the people this book leaves in the dust. I know this because I was one of them. I had money, a career, a nice home but hated my life. And Jesus came to me and made what was once a meaningless life a purposeful one. Only when I knew God and Christ loved me unconditionally was I able to admit I was a sinner and begin the long road to repentance.
I emphatically disagree that Christ does not make your life better and happier. Yes bad things will happen as this is our flawed world but I promise ANYONE that no matter WHAT happens, that if you place your faith in Christ, you will be gently guided and embraced with Jesus's worldly hand that this book claims does not exist.

This book is very good at explaining why we should use the law to explain the need for a Savior. Please take a look at this book!
Get on with it! May 13, 2007

The principles and truth in this book will enable you to be about your Father's business! Thanks, Ray, for teaching me what I've been waiting 30 years to learn...how to share the Gospel effectively.
 Your going to hell.... April 15, 2007
5 out of 54 found this review helpful
....Ray and Kirks' favorite byline. Do you really want your kids thinking like that? The tv shows are getting more hellfire oriented and really good at scaring naive young people on the street. Kirk had one 13 or 14 year old girl in tears recently after he told her how much she had sinned and of course she was going to hell. The only good part is that there seems to be a lack of interest (reviews) here at Amazon for these 2 goofballs.
