SOME OF the most theologically damaging messages for the church today may be found in best-selling Christian books. Case in point: Jesus Calling, a devotional book written by Sarah Young that's sold over 10 million copies in 26 languages, and was recently released as a special 10th anniversary edition.
Warren B. Smith, author of Another Jesus Calling, explains why the message of Jesus Calling is deceptive and dangerous, and how it indicates a larger problem in the church — our lack of discernment and desire to have our itching ears scratched.
