Nuggets from "Whatever Happened to Heaven?" by Dave Hunt

Unfortunately, the world's idea of successful marketing has influenced the church, causing it to attempt to sell Christianity to the world in the same manner. Many Christians assume that they must use Dale Carnegie-like techniques in representing Christ. In their attempt to be well liked by the world, they compromise thier Christian witness, often without realizing it because worldly standards have become such an intimate part of their thinking.
