    About this ebook

    Do you have any voices of truth in your life? Is there someone, anyone who can be brutally honest with you about you? Is the only thing more frightening than listening to a voice of truth, being one? If there is a responsibility of the church, it is to confront, to hold us accountable, to be that voice of truth. But what happens if she doesnt, or worse, her leaders desire popularity more than our purity? Killing the Church is not to be seen as an attack against the Church, no more than discipline is an attack against a child. The reality is that without correction, little can be done to keep child or Church on course. And for correction to be effective, it first requires confrontation.

    Author

    Dr. Jeff Parker

    A former missionary to Zimbabwe, Africa and Cornwall, England, as well as a chaplain in the US Army, DR. JEFF PARKER has been given the unique opportunity to see the Church in a myriad of settings. From the emerging Church in Africa to the remnants of Western Europe to military bases around the world, Dr. Parker has addressed Christians in a variety of venues. His experience comes from not merely visiting these places but rather having lived there. Today, he pastors in the inner city of Jackson, Mississippi, to a city in transition.
