Ten Indictments Against the Modern Church

The modern church is in need of revival. But as author Paul Washer contends, "We cannot simply do what is right in our own eyes and then expect the Holy Spirit to come down and bless our labors." Truth be told, the devil has little need to oppose the church's prayer for revival unless God's people are seeking to live lives and order congregations according to God's Word. This book examines ten areas where churches have neglected clear biblical direction and need to prayerfully seek reformation.

"If the old adage is correct, 'A right diagnosis is half the cure,' then this book by Paul Washer is a much-needed examination of the spiritual health of the body of Christ today. Truth can be jolting, but the truth that hurts the most is that which most likely heals. So it is with these ten chapters that put their finger on the live nerve and broken bones of the contemporary church. Here is an accurate assessment of what needs mending in the bride of Christ if she is to be restored to her former beauty."
