"Free from sarcasm and ridicule, Real Christians Don't Dance challenges the evangelical Church to identify true Christianity from the sub-culture that has developed around it, to discover what is real obedience and love. Readers may discover in their lives more tradition than truth, more Christianity than Christ, more fundamentalism than faith, more law than love." -- Back cover

But, thank goodness, here it is."Mark A. Noll, McMannis Professor of Christian Thought, Wheaton College Many of us have been encouraged to have a shrink wrapped" Christian experience that has kept us pure - but unused. This book is a testimony to the power of the Christian life that engages with ideas, culture, inner cities, politics and economics and makes a difference."Fred Smith, President, Fourth Partner FoundationLike his apostolic namesake, John Fischer knows that love, not resentment, is the hallmark of Christian peoplehood.

Who Are We to Judge? We have met the Pharisees, and they are...us. That's because we are all slaves to self-righteousness and judgmentalism. It's built into human nature. We set "the standard"--the list of do's and don'ts--to which others must adhere. Then we associate this predetermined behavior with righteousness and declare, "A 'Christian' wouldn't do that." In this book, John Fischer points out that Jesus defined the truth in such a way as to leave no one righteous--not one. We cannot be made right before God by being "better" than anyone else. Instead, by recognizing and laying aside the Pharisee in all of us, we can embrace the grace, gratitude, and joy of the spirit-filled life.
