Publisher Description
Jesus divided the world into two groups—those who follow him and those who don't. But what happens when someone thinks he or she is a Christian, but isn't? With his witty, engaging style, Mike McKinley takes readers on a journey of what it means to be a Christian. He asserts that "manipulative evangelism techniques and a poor understanding of the gospel have resulted in an abundance of professing Christians who have no idea what it means to follow Christ."
Each chapter title begins with "You're not a Christian [if/when/just because you]…" As he surveys what it means to be Christian, McKinley offers criteria for evaluating one's standing before God. Readers are guided through a series of challenges to reflect, repent, remember, and report to another person. Am I Really a Christian? ends with chapters on salvation and the local church. This unique book is written for nominal or new Christians and can be used in personal or small-group study.

"Hello, McFly!!!"
Put down all the stuff you think has priority, right now, and read this book. Eternity is a LONG time, and to not invest a few hours reading this book to "grade" yourself on whether you're professed faith is real or not, or in need of some minor or major surgery, and founded in solid love for Christ and all he stands for is just plain foolish. I call this book one of the greatest "pull your pants down exercises" I've ever been through. Remember, we're not here for ourselves. We're here for Jesus Christ and His church. One of the big things this book has brought to life for me is that I've in large part been a "fly by" church member. Kinda making sure I'm checking off the right boxes. Under the radar if you know what I mean. All too busy, other stuff floating to the top, you know what I mean. This no-nonsense, biblically based account of the checklist of things we must etch on our hearts and take action on will have far greater return than any worldly investment you can consider or make. Really, who, who is more important than our Master and Savior Jesus Christ and all that He commanded us to do? After absorbing all that's in this book, your heart will change, your priorities will take a different order and you'll be fed and feel like you are headed toward the absolute right destination while honoring and exalting the one that deserves it the most, Jesus The King and Master of the universe. Thank you for this book. God Bless!
