Review
"...an appeal not unlike C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity." -- J. Colin Harris, Ph.D., Mercer University
"Here is a beautifully constructed lesson, from two brilliant people, but the real 'grab you through the heart' message comes from a courageous young man who by simply being - living in faith and relationship, distills the whole book. I cried at some sections - so beautifully done. Just what we need to see the revelation of God in terms that really portray the Divine-human relationship in a way that makes sense, not fragmented or contradictory. Congratulations on a magnificent collaborative effort!" -- Jamie Rasche, M.D., Grace Harbour, Inc.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2014Format: KindleVerified PurchaseRestored Christianity is a significant journey to the foundations of our faith. It deals with basic truths and refers us to touchstone scriptures to build their case. "What do we really believe?"
It is nothing new. Paul vigorously warned the Galatians about mixing works into the purity of grace. It wouldn't have taken long for that toxic influx to damage their foundation. He called them back to Truth. In 1517, Martin Luther published his restoration counsel to the church. He called them back to Truth.
We have an enemy that seldom makes a full frontal attack on our faith. He comes with a mixture of truth and lies that will be off by a small degree. It seems insignificant and innocuous. Off by one degree is barely discernible at the start. Left undetected, it will increase our distance from truth with every step.
This mother and son team leads us to an examination of our individual walk. They ask the hard questions. They ask us to look at what we really believe, where the rubber meets the road, if you will. I confidently began with chapter one thinking, "This will affirm much of what I already believe. I'm doing well in my Christian walk." It was an awakening for my spirit. Shocking, to say the least. I had to slow down. I processed the information and spent time in prayerful meditation asking the Holy Spirit to confirm these new concepts to my spirit. Some of the words and phrases that came to mind as I continued to read were: challenge, stripping away, return to authenticity, "having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof", radical thinking, the way it was meant to be, scandalous love, simplicity of structure, burning away of the dross, "transformation by the renewing of your mind."
In each chapter, Donna will provide the spiritual structure and Hayden will add a historical dimension that lends so much to the composition. The end result is a perspective that I have not encountered before. The finished work is like a painting with rich color and striking content. Don't assume this to be a dry, formulaic manuscript. You will learn the physics of entropy. You will visit (or revisit) an episode of Star Trek. You will find yourself in a life and death circumstance at the bottom of the sea.
Hold on to your willingness to listen and take the plunge. They are calling us back to Truth.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2016Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI spent a great deal of my life learning about Theology to argue with people who espoused opinion as fact. I have not found anything in this book with which I disagree, and that is extraordinary. I recommend this to any person who wants to revolutionize their relationship with Christ because that is precisely what it will do.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2017Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis books challenges a lot of our Christianisms and encourages the reader to examine the character of God , the three in one and base everything we believe off of that.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2010Thank you for a very interesting look at how Christianity has morphed from its origins. You have given me something to really think about.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2017I love this book! Has helped answer and bring peace to a lot of questions!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2014Format: PaperbackChallenging, convicting, and life changing! The reader is challenged to know God and not just about Him. Jesus desires to be intimately involved in every aspect of our lives. Our false beliefs about ourselves and God hinder us from having true intimacy with Him. The authors use Paul's letters for their historical analysis to examine the Christian beliefs and theology of the early church. In doing so they reveal how far from 'true north' today's church has come. The in depth historical research and analysis is well done and similar to Lee Strobel's 'A Case For Christ.' As a graduate from a Christian university, I believe 'Restored Christianity' should be required reading for theology and seminary students alike.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2016This is an extremely thorough analysis and a must read for anybody with an insatiable curiosity for knowledge.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2007This book will touch your heart. It is my privilege and honor to know the authors and to have experienced the joy of being Cody's friend. He was a wonderful young man who knew God and his savior, Jesus Christ, in a very special way. Donna and Hayden have done a wonderful job in telling you and me(as readers)about the love of God. At Cody's going home ceremony it was my honor to tell the attendees why Cody Lane was my only living hero prior to his passing. The 146 Psalm tells us not to put our confidence in mortal man because if we do we will eventually be disappointed. Cody was truly different and he, in my opinion, was holy and deserved to be a hero as a mortal man. In Leviticus God says: "Be holy for I am holy!" That's a very tall order for we humans; but,Cody Lane was holy and Donna and Hayden explain why. Enjoy the read as I did and Cody will also become your hero! You will be blessed!
