I learned that Jesus Christ had died for my sins and was raised again so that I might experience God’s forgiveness and new life in Him. At that moment, I turned my life over to Christ. I prayed, “Lord Jesus, if You can change me, come into me and do it. I sure need to be changed."
Is this, then, what Jesus had in mind when He talked of an “abundant life”? No! But if people have never experienced anything different, they will accept their predicament as normal. They will assume “that’s just the way it is."
I knew the Bible frontward and backward, but that knowledge alone didn’t change my condition. In my experience, Jesus got lost in the Bible.
Lord, I don’t care what the organization that I used to be with taught me. I don’t care what the church I’m in or the denomination to which I belong has taught me. I want You to teach me afresh, all over again. I want to know the truth that You promised would set me free. I’m tired of listening to people. I’m ready to listen to You.
More than anything else, I wanted to know more fully the Person of Jesus Christ whom the Bible reveals. I thank God with all my heart that He led me to find what I was looking for—a return to Classic Christianity.
Christianity is not a religion; it’s a relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ did not come just to get men out of hell and into heaven; He came to get Himself out of heaven and into men!
The issue in salvation is life and death. Jesus Christ, spiritually alive, laid down His life for us. Why? So that He could give His life to us!
Until you rest in the finality of the cross, you will never experience the reality of the resurrection.
There is only one way to determine your identity that cannot be shaken, one foundation that cannot be taken away from you: “I am a child of God.”
We don’t need a good self-image. We need a proper self-image—one that comes from God’s Word.
The most powerful, life-changing power in existence is the message of God’s unconditional love and acceptance in Jesus Christ.
God will never love or accept you one ounce less or one ounce more than He does right this minute. That’s a truth to build a life on!
The goal of the Christian life is not to stop sinning! It is to start trusting.
To be filled with the Spirit is to be totally filled with the knowledge of God’s love and grace in Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ laid down His life for us, so that He could give His life to us, so that He could live His life through us! That’s the entire gospel in a nutshell.
We must first receive God’s unconditional love and acceptance for us before we will ever learn to love Him in return.
You may not know what will happen to you tomorrow, but you can know that the same Christ who loves you perfectly today is already there.
Listen, open the door of your heart, and discover that Classic Christianity is a Person—the living Lord Jesus Christ.

He was passionate about getting the book in my hands immediately

Five days before my 31 year old son died suddenly in his sleep, I was on the phone with him and for 50 minutes he preached with exuberance about the revelation of his assurance of salvation which became real to him through Classic Christianity--a book he said changed his life from works to rest. He was passionate about getting the book in my hand immediately. It was wonderful to hear Dave make the confession of a personal revelation of the blessed assurance of salvation.

I just wanted you to know how much he loved your ministry and how your book gave him such hope.

I thought I had failed God

I simply must tell you a story about myself. I was going through a time in my life where I had no one to turn to. I thought I had failed God. My marriage had failed and I wanted to die but was so afraid of what would happen to my soul. One very depressing day I came across your book in a lounge area where I work. My job title is Group Leader Custodian and normally I would only have looked inside the book to find an address or name in order to return it. This day was different. The pages in it spoke to my aching heart in a way nothing else could. Classic Christianity gave me a hope and a future. I have bought several more and passed them out to others who would benefit from reading it.

I just want to thank you with all my heart for your service to God's ministry!

So true, so essential!

I just read your book in French, "La Vraie vue Chretienne" (Classic Christianity). What you mention in that book is so true, so essential! Real life through Jesus living in us!

I could not put the book down!

All my life I had a desire to know about God. I made many attempts to know Him more and more....from good "law keeping", to assisting at every church function. The more I tried to get to know Him the less I knew of Him. Finally, I abandoned all thought of ever knowing Him and decided to live my life as the flesh dictated, just hoping my good would outweigh the evil in the end. It was in the abandonment of trying to get to know Him that He found me! I was around 42 when someone turned me on to the book, Classic Christianity. Through the experiences Bob shared, I realized I had very similar experiences. I soon discovered that I was not just relating to someone's experiences but was coming to KNOW about God and my Lord, Jesus Christ. Finally, my life's desire was becoming a reality. Knowing Jesus as the gospel was being revealed through the pages of Classic and every page I turned was another accelerating discovery.

By the end of the book, I was coming to the end of myself and my efforts to establish a relationship with God. Funny, all the while God knew me and never gave up on revealing Himself to me, even when I gave up on Him. Galations 1:15-16 (NLT) became more meaningful to me..."But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by His marvelous grace. Then it pleased Him to reveal His Son to me."

It Opened My Heart

After I was born-again at age 45, I was trying to follow a path for God, but really I was just studying the precepts of the Bible. I kept coming up short in faith, following ministries that teach the Law but talk about grace to sound good. Under the law you always lose hope. Hope is kept strong in the grace of God, giving you a heart to study the great gift of grace. Classic Christianity is one of the few books that will keep you strong in God's work - the real truth! It opened up my heart for the real true and holy God.

Refreshing, encouraging, relevant!

Refreshing, encouraging, and relevant! That’s how I’d describe Classic Christianity. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us through your book. Our Lord confirmed in my heart so many things that He has made real to me in the last ten years. I guess what made your journey so meaningful to me was that it so paralleled my own experience—bold, aggressive, motivating, and yet frustrated internally—wondering why the Christian life was so hard to live. Thanks again, Bob, for your contribution to my life and to hundreds of hurting Christians who desperately need to know this message.

Much needed practical concepts

I have recently read Classic Christianity. I am in total agreement with your writing and I wanted to share with you how much I enjoyed the book. You presented to the reader a deeper knowledge of the agape love of God along with the much-needed practical concepts of how that love is lived out in  everyday life.

It really IS a Classic!

I won't miss it after all!

I have just finished Classic Christianity. I cannot tell you how much it has impacted my life. I have ordered nine copies for my fellow sisters and brothers in Christ. If I had more money, I would make sure that everyone I knew who is wrestling with some of the same errors in thinking had a copy of this liberating book.

Bob, I have been taught that the idea of “once saved, always saved” is anti-gospel. But the truth of this message rings so true in my heart. I am going back through this book in greater detail this week. The first reading had me stopping on almost every page—asking God to make the truths you developed a reality in my heart. Bob, indeed life is too short to miss the real thing. And because of Classic Christianity, I believe I won’t miss it after all!

Comes through loud and clear...

Thanks so much for Classic Christianity! I just finished it. As I read it, I once again marveled at the message of God’s love and grace. It comes through loud and clear in the book. I don’t know how anyone could read it and not see the truth of the message. I pray that the Lord will use this as a tool to reach not only the unsaved but Christians who are in bondage because of not knowing what “classic” Christianity is all about.

A wonderful reminder!

Classic Christianity is a wonderful reminder of God’s love, acceptance, and forgiveness of His children.
