Ashamed of the Gospel: When the Church Becomes Like the World Author: John MacArthur Binding: Paperback List price: $14.99 USD Amazon price: $10.19 USD

Reviewer: Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, Illinois, USA)
At the end of his long and distinguished career, the famous British preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) found himself locked in a battle with the Baptist Union over its decreasing attachment to scripture, and increasing acceptance of error and sin. And now, more than one hundred years later, Dr. John MacArthur, of Grace Community Church and the Grace to You radio ministry, finds himself being forced into the same battle against scriptural infidelity and pragmatism in the American Evangelical church. With piercing analysis and voluminous use of scripture, he attacks this not-altogether new trend in the Evangelical church.
