Conversion:  Say what?

Conversion:  More Than Meets the Eye

“This book’s value is Peek’s comments on the current religious scene, where his critical insight and considerable wit address contemporary issues with honest and bold analysis.”
--Clarence Richmond

“If you are interested in pabulum theology or ear tickling stories, this book is not for you.  Regardless of how you classify yourself – liberal or conservative – this book will cause you to think and dig deeper into the Bible.”
--Dr. J.J. Turner

• “The church needs to do less dissecting of salvation and more digesting of it.”
• “Are churches only for the debt-free, drug-free, dirt-free, doubt-free, depression-free, divorce-free, and defeat-free?”
• “The need is to live deeper rather than faster.”
• “Walking in the light means to walk in honesty, not perfection.”
• “Humility admits wrong.  Pride admits nothing.”
• “The Pharisees fixed their eyes on sin and the law of Moses.  Jesus fixed His eyes on people and the law of mercy.”
• “A sinner is justified through a cross, not a code; by a Savior, not a slogan.”
• “One should avoid portraying an air of nobility simply because his mind is in rigor mortis.”
• “When believers are not busy about His business, they get into each other’s business.”
• “Too many preachers see from sermon to sermon.  Too many churches see from week to week.  Jesus saw from eternity to eternity."
• “Jesus did not come to seek and save the saved.”
• “Lord, save us from those who are perpetually trying to REsave us.”
• “Apart from the Holy Spirit, scripture would have prose, proverbs, and precepts – but no power.”
• “Religion is humanity seeking to discover God.  Revelation is God explaining Himself to humanity. God is not algebra.  One does not ‘figure out’ God.  God has SPOKEN.”
• “Sin stems from bad choices, not bad chromosomes.”
• “Paul pointed out the most dire threat to unity among the brothers: CHAIN agents (Gal. 2:4; 5:4)
