About this ebook
Bestselling Author Helps Believers Embrace the Stigma of Faith
In our increasingly secular society, being a Christian carries a cost. Whether through public criticism or the quiet loss of respect, it is hard--and becoming harder--to be known as a Christian. Even as believers try to follow the will of God, they are often misunderstood and left to deal with the awkward, sometimes painful results of feeling disconnected from their fellow man.
Beloved Bible teacher R. T. Kendall offers hope. Turning the idea of stigma on its head, he shares his own story of rejection and embarrassment in the name of Christ--and how it became the source of unimaginable blessing. With warmth and understanding, he urges readers to embrace the offense that comes from their commitment to Jesus Christ, showing that when they do, the Lord will unleash into their lives incalculable blessing.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Unashamed - I wonder if we truly contemplate this in our Christianity today. With a passion and fervor R.T. Kendall attacks this point - to boldly embrace the scandal that comes with following Christ.
This book serves as encouragement to the Christian seeking a life that is filled with fire for God in a world filled with complacent, luke-warm Christians who easily blend into the world. It encourages you to embrace the very thing that will most certainly set you apart from the world around you. The very thing that will cause others to be on the defense.
R.T. Kendall has done an excellent job in showing that being passionate about Christ brings courage to bear His name without shame. I read this book while reading 'The Crucified Life' by A.W. Tozer and was amazed at how similar these two men viewed their walk with the Lord.
