In this brief easy-to-read book, theologian and author Mike Ford shows the reasons why many churches are dying from within and he claims the root reason is because they only understand part of what the Bible teaches about human nature. Not teaching the deepest truth about who we are has done great damage to Christians and Non-Christians alike, leaving damaged souls far and wide. According to Ford, the way out of the religious bondage this has caused, to restore souls and revitalize churches is for all involved to understand that religious teachings on Original Sin and separation from God are only part of the truth about humanity. The Book of Genesis teaches there is a split within human nature between our True Self and our False Self; and that though we are under Original Sin, we are also under Original Blessing. Genesis records that "God looked at all God had made and saw it was very good." Ford contends that nothing has changed God's mind ever since; and this was culminated in the person of Christ.
