Honestly: Really Living What We Say We Believe - Softcover

"Most of us are looking for authenticity. We're turned off by people who talk big and don't deliver. That is especially true when it comes to the subject of religion. Johnnie Moore has given us an honest, believable book on what the Christian lifestyle is all about. I highly recommend it." -Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages "Johnnie Moore writes with a refreshing passion. His perspective on mission is first-rate, and his chapters on suffering and failure are reason alone to pick up this book." -Luis Palau, World Evangelist "I am breathing a huge sigh of relief for the next generation with leaders like Johnnie at the helm. This book will challenge all generations to get real in their walk with Christ." -Gary Smalley, bestselling author of The Blessing and The DNA of Relationships "I have watched Johnnie from a distance for several years. As I read this book, I got to know him personally. This is must reading for anyone who wants to take their faith seriously." -Ed Dobson, advisory editor, Christianity Today, author of The Year of Living like Jesus "In Honestly, Johnnie Moore is essentially asking you to put up or shut up, get on board or get out of the way. And I guarantee, when you're finished with this book, you're going to do one or the other." -Jerry B. Jenkins, novelist and biographer, owner, Christian Writers Guild and Jenkins Entertainment "It is safe to assume that many of us have shaped our current view of God from past experiences, fears, disappointments, and frustrations...all of which can hinder an accurate understanding of God's purposes, his heart for this hurting world, and his invitation for us to be part of what he's doing in it. In this new book, Johnnie Moore shares his own journey to spiritual health through humorous and touching stories, and challenges us to really live what we believe! As a champion for children in poverty for more than 30 years, I encourage you to read this book, check your own spiritual pulse, find a passion that can move you to tears within 30 seconds, and then pour yourself into that ministry!" -Wess Stafford, president and CEO, Compassion International "Johnnie Moore opens the wounds of his heart to show his journey to a true faith in Jesus, a faith that cannot be stolen by someone else's experience. He not only uses analogies from his own life but delves into the genocides of Rwanda and Bosnia, demonstrating how only Jesus can heal the wounds of the world. In the midst of the book, he also intellectually proves the existence of the Creator who started it all. This book helps the seeker to learn to believe in God and choose to stand up for him in their daily life, despite the evil that exists in the world." -Ron Luce, founder and president, Teen Mania Ministries "Johnnie Moore writes with wisdom and insights far beyond his years. This new book gives all of us a lot to think about and put into action. Start reading and achieving." -Pat Williams, senior vice president, Orlando Magic, author of Coach Wooden: The 7 Principles That Shaped His Life and Will Change Yours "Johnnie Moore embodies the hope that American Christianity is not on its deathbed, but rather on the precipice of a new awakening. In Honestly, one of America's emerging leaders reconciles an unbridled commitment to biblical orthodoxy with a horizontal healthy dose of grace-filled reflection and analysis of our twenty-first-century prophetic witness. Definitely a must read!" -Samuel Rodriguez, president, National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference Hispanic National Association of Evangelicals "This book is a captivating look at faith and life. In it my good friend Johnnie Moore gives an honest account of his own struggles and provides us with the answers that we all need. Johnnie is a voice that every generation needs to hear. I have witnessed firsthand his passion for living a life of authentic faith and his tremendous desire for others to do the same, and it's contagious. He doesn't just write what he believes-he lives it." -Vernon Brewer, president, World Help

Johnnie Moore, vice president and campus pastor of Liberty University, inspires readers with an enthusiastic challenge to live out fully what they say they believe as Christians. In his uniquely confessional tone, Johnnie takes readers on a journey of belief from the hilltop home of the Dalai Lama to a mass grave of more than 250,000 people in Rwanda. He dares to address the doubts and challenges that have turned many well-intentioned Christians into hypocrites. Like a good pastor, Moore helps heal the wounds he opens, and he leaves his reader with one curious question, "What could happen if the world's Christians actually began to live what they say they believe?"
