To take an excerpt from the book: "What, exactly, would a fellow believer from two millennia ago say to us? Would they feel that we’ve successfully followed the pattern that has been handed down from the apostles and from the first church? ...And so we have to go backwards if we want to go forward. The people of God must be throwbacks, living according to the standards of the first believers, not the world as we see it today.."
What did you like about the book?
I really loved how simple and readable this book is. Shaun is dealing with theological topics that trained theologians can get extremely technical with, but Shaun has put things simply, retelling many passages of Scripture with skill and a masterful use of modern day stories. With style and eloquence he has penned a call for the church today to look to Scripture alone, to take the queue from the practices and beliefs of the early believers - to those who have ears to hear and eyes to see this will be a book that calibrates and challenges all. A necessary read for the modern church.

An excellent read. WOW. Well done to Shaun! A much needed book for the church in the 21st Century. I hope and pray it will get into the hands of those who are straying from the pattern as seen in Scripture and that hearts will receive the message that has been clearly delivered on the pages of this book.
