Our Last Great Hope

Our Last Great Hope: Awakening the Great Commission
Ronnie Floyd


Book Description

Every day we encounter scores of people headed to an eternity without God. What will it take to wake us up to their desperate need for a Savior?

While the earth's time clock ticks away, well-meaning Christians go to church, pay their tithes, and pray for foreign missionaries—going through the motions of Christian life as millions face an eternity without God. If heaven is indeed for real, and only those who have put their faith in Christ will be given entrance, shouldn't we be making the most of every opportunity to share the Gospel, the last great hope for all the world?

Join pastor Ronnie Floyd as he challenges readers to face reality and begin a global movement to reach the lost. He says, "God is calling us to an awakening regarding his most urgent command found in Matthew 28:19 to go and make disciples of all nations. This Great Commission is the compelling charge given to us with divine authority by our Commander in Chief, Jesus Christ."

If the Great Commission was so important to Jesus, why have we relegated it to casual discussions and an annual campaign in our churches? An awakening has never been more needed. In this challenging book, Pastor Floyd discusses key imperatives such as:
--Get honest with yourself
--Wake up your church
--Understand the urgency
--Talk Jesus daily
--Reach the next generation now
--Minimize structure

The major themes that focus on Scripture serve to create an influential and intensely challenging book. There is a very obvious commitment here to teach Scriptural principles from the Bible and to invite the reader to follow hard after Christ.

I was hoping for a great book that would inspire people to share the gospel & give them the tools with which to do it. Unfortunately, this wasn't it. I just didn't like it. I never got into it. I might give it a second shot.
