Hard to Believe
Hard to Believe by John MacArthur, published by Thomas Nelson Incorporated in 2006, is a thought-provoking exploration of the modern interpretation of Christianity.

MacArthur presents a critical examination of this trend, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the true teachings of Jesus Christ and the sacrifices that genuine faith entails.
In this edition, readers will encounter a direct and challenging discourse on the implications of a faith that prioritizes superficiality over depth.

The book delves into themes of spiritual growth, discipleship, and the cost of true faith, urging readers to recognize that following Christ requires commitment and sacrifice. Through his unyielding perspective, MacArthur invites readers to reflect on the profound truths of their beliefs and the nature of their relationship with God.
Official synopsis Publisher
Jesus Christ did not die on the cross so you and I could have a nice day.
Ministers and teachers who water down the gospel of Christ in order to make it more popular and appealing may be leading their fun-loving audiences down the road to eternal punishment.
This book is John MacArthur’s unflinching, unapologetic treatise on the modern tendency to alter the true message of Christianity in order to meet the whims and desires of a culture hoping for nonconfrontational messages, easy answers, and superficial commitments.
Too many people just want a Madison Avenue Jesus to make them well, make them happy, and make them prosperous. But Jesus Christ isn’t a personal genie. He is the Savior. He died in agony to satisfy the wrath of a holy God and to forgive the sins of humankind. Faith in Him demands a willingness to make any sacrifice He asks. The hard truth about Christianity is that the cost is high, but the rewards are priceless: abundant and eternal life that comes only from faithfully follwing Christ.
