History is a great teacher about mistakes, movements, and momentous decisions that either lead to destruction or salvation of a religion. Learning it can change the future for Christianity. It is time to bring awareness to Christians about the moral failures and mistakes in the name of Christianity made in history and in the present in the name of faith. Stumbling Over Our Christian Mistakes is an insightful examination of the actions that have separated our religion from the simple gospel and a spiritual relationship with God. Christians can learn from these mistakes, advocate for truth, justice and equality, deepen their relationship with God, and lead Christlike lives of love, compassion, kindness, and mercy. In J. Christan Wood's analytical, thought provoking, and sometimes unorthodox style, she has put words to paper about the waywardness of Christians throughout history and the present day. Her mission is to light up the past to help us learn from the mistakes and sins that separate us from God. So that Christians, current and future, can fi nd strength and wisdom to serve God's purposes in our humanity.
