Are you tired of halfhearted Christianity? Do you want to experience the abundant life that Jesus promised? Grab hold of this book and get ready for a spiritually explosive ride into a new dimension of reality.

This book examines twenty-four themes that fuel a believer's passion and purpose. Each segment is short, yet powerful. An amazing array of resources is available for the readers, ranging from biblical insights to relevant Web sites. Challenging and contemporary, these words will rock Christians off their foundations of complacency. A high level of excitement and enthusiasm fill these pages, as well as a delicious feeling of triumphant living. It's impossible to read this book and walk away from these ideas.

A short essay, quotes from well-known people, and appropriate Bible verses reinforce the main idea behind each segment. A recommendation of books, music and Internet sites connects the issues to cutting-edge resources. Stories of biblical rebels reach out through the centuries to pave the way for a new generation to follow. A handy top ten list and a soul-searching question completes each theme, drawing readers into the message with a determined purpose

The New Rebellion Handbook is more than just a quiet discussion of ideas. Think of these pages as providing Christians with a spiritual armory of insights and radical truths. The short, staccato-like relay of information carries a powerful sense of encouragement and direction. Solidly resting on Scripture, readers will be highly motivated to achieve the heights of glory that are promised to all those who believe.

Beware- reading this book almost guarantees recruitment in the holy rebellion!
