Author: Brian Tome
This book started out by frustrating me A LOT. It seemed like Pastor Brian Tome was just out to shock the Christian community by some of the things he does. I was annoyed and actually in one story he told, I thought he showed a serious lack of compassion to a "weaker brother".
BUT as soon as I passed the first couple of chapters, I could see he was making a great point. I agree that most Christians are overly focused on the DONTs of their walk with Christ, rather than walking in the freedom that life in Christ brings. We have so many DOs to consider as we strive to be like Christ...the DONTs should be a natural product of the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. Don't get me wrong - he does address the seriousness of obedience to the Word of God. He has some great insight about strongholds in our lives. So many people are stuck in a cycle of dysfunction, they never accomplish much for the Kingdom of God. He uses creative language to give scriptural answers to life's difficulties.
He is definitely a fanatic about freedom! As long as you give it a little time, I think you'll see that his heart is in the right place, and his ideas are based on scripture. Great read.
