But he's convinced that "organized religion itself is in trouble" and that "Christianity is in crisis." As the cover copy put it: "Forget the Church. Follow Jesus."

In my own experience the church (defined as brothers and sisters meeting together in the name of Jesus) was instrumental in my following Jesus. Shortly after being saved I set out on a cross country hitch hiking trip "following Jesus". I headed north and was in Conn. when I was completely miserable, feeling totally lost. I prayed to the Lord and His answer was "if you are following Me I am there" and I could see him pointing to Houston where I had met the saints that had preached to me and led me to get baptized.
