Michael Cassidy’s new book tackles faithless Christianity. Michael Cassidy’s new book, Getting to the Heart of Things, was officially launched at an African Enterprise Dinner at St Matthew’s, Wheeler Hill in Melbourne recently. Michael is the founder of African Enterprise, an interracial, interdenominational evangelistic Christian agency, and played a key role in the first democratic elections in South Africa. In launching the book the Chairman of Acorn Press, Bishop John Wilson said: ‘Michael Cassidy has tackled in this new book a range of topics like biblical interpretation, the uniqueness of Christ, the person and work of the Spirit of God and the hot issues of tolerance, truth and religious pluralism.’ Michael Cassidy suggests that we live in an age in which ‘tolerance has become the ultimate virtue and intolerance the ultimate sin.’ (p.179). Really worksMichael Cassidy says that our response to the uncertainty of the post-modern era is to show both by the words we speak and the lives we live that we possess something that really works: ‘In reality we have someone who really works. And if we can manifest Him credibly the world will sit up in new ways to look at us, listen to us, and then learn from us.’ (p.186). InsightfulThe book is an insightful and refreshingly clear re-statement of Christian basics, which provides an excellent introduction to the foundations of the Christian faith for young Christians, new Christians or those interested in learning more about who Jesus of Nazareth really was and is.
