John Fischer does a job on some of
the sacred cows that have been idols for many
of us. Fischer works through the confinements
of religiosity into the freedom of spirituality.

John Fischer thinks and probes... He
is seeking to uncover "Christlike"
thinking, not just "contemporary
Christian" thinking. |
|
| |
He challenged the Christians at our
University to break the mold we live in, stop
being self-righteous, get in touch with our sin,
and return to the cross daily.
