Publisher's Synopsis
This book has a well-determined cradle. It arose from my reflections on the work of Raymond Franz. It arose from a day of questions about the meaning of someone belonging to any denomination and not realizing the relativity of their own faith. Writing has to do with my own condition as a believer. It has to do with the humility of faith. It is a work that is written without being against anyone. Rather, it is part of the understanding intent. It calls for more faith and less fanaticism. He complains about people leaving the stones in their hands. The very question of the origin of the book has to do with the perception of how difficult it is to understand one's own positions. For this reason, Franz's work serves as a starting point for visiting the theme of sects and cults in opposition to the ideals of ecumenism.
The subtitle highlights that people systematically miss the mark. Not just in sects. Faith itself can insist on missing the mark, since it can settle for being static and ignoring the fundamental reasons for its existence. The faith you have is not for showing off; it is to live in embrace, in understanding, in humanity. The book is about that.
