The Almost Christian Discovered

by Matthew Mead

A penetrating series of seven sermons exposing the dangerous gap between outward profession and true conversion. Mead examines how a person may go far in religious duties — hearing the Word, reforming outward behavior, experiencing convictions of conscience — and yet fall short of saving grace. With searching pastoral wisdom, he identifies the marks of the "almost Christian" and contrasts them with the evidences of genuine faith, urging readers to press beyond mere formality into a living relationship with Christ.
