But Don't All Religions Lead to God?

Michael Green's But Don't all Religions Lead To God? is a great book if you are interested in thinking about the differences between the various religions on offer today [well ... at least the most popular ones], and the unique claims of Christ.

In this book he helps us to think through these popular misconceptions:
1. All religions are much the same.
2. All religions lead to God.
3. It doesn't matter what you believe, as long as you are sincere.
4. Jesus Christ is only one of many great religious teachers.

Having helped us to see that each of these views is not logical, Green then shows us the greatness of Jesus who:
*was the only great religious leader who claimed to be able to bring us to God.
*was the only great teacher who claimed to be able to deal radically with human wickedness.
*came back to life, showing us that what he said is true.
*promises to live within us, empowering us to live fulfilled lives which please God.
