The Slumber of Christianity: Awakening a Passion For Heaven on Earth

Ted Dekker believes we've been lulled into boredom, even despondency. Our faith wanes, our joy in salvation fades, and we feel powerless. Here he urges us to escape mundane, powerless existence and to passionately pursue God's highest pleasures.
