Rise Of The Christian
Most Christians are hypocritical, confused, and worldly. They love the world and everything in it, yet they still call themselves Christians.
Christians are called by God to spiritually impact the world but few new Christians live up to their calling. It is not that they do not want to, it is because they do not know how to. The fluency of the Christian journey begins with breaking the chains of spiritual bondage in the life of new Christians. Accepting Christ is only the first step on a long road to eternity. Rise of the Christian provides insight into how new Christians can begin, endure and sustain their Christian walk.

About the author
Tanisca M. Wilson
11 books18 followersAn avid reader, peace seeker, Christian and educator, Tanisca M. Wilson believes her God-given onus is to share life experiences, not necessarily her own, with others. The goal is to interweave God's glory into the details of everyday lives, so others can know they are not alone in their trials and tribulations. She is not a Christian writer; she is a Christian who writes. Tanisca does not conform to rules that keep her writing inside a box.
Because she reads a lot, she knows that writers wreck their brains sometimes trying to fill pages just to meet a demanding word count. Countless times she and others in her book club skip through boring pages in books because it is better to be picking bottles and cans on a dead-end street on a rainy day. So, she writes her stories until they end. And when they do, the word count is what it is, but the story is always entertaining and well told.
Her work experiences span across various educational settings,including college, prison, and K-12 settings. She advocates for educational access for under-represented populations and researches women in leadership.
She writes non-fiction Christian books as well as mainstream fiction. She loves reading historical fiction, particularly about women in the Bible. Her favorite authors include the late Jackie Collins, Jill Eileen Smith, and Kimberla Lawson Roby. Her favorite book for 2015 was Pharoah's Daughter by Mesu Andrews.

What defines the concept of Christianity? Who is God? Who is God to me? How do I show who He is to others?
These are just a few questions reading Rise of the Christian answered for me. What I liked about this book is it addressed issues that most Christians shy away from. Most mature Christians know some of this information, but they do not show it. The author makes the point that knowing and doing are vastly different things, and that Christians are identified by what they do, not by what they claim. In other words, Christians must walk the talk.
My favorite part of the book is when the author dispels myths about Christianity. For so long I have been forced to reconcile with people to show that I have forgiven them. Well, "forgiveness does not mean reconciliation." I recommend this book to all Christians.
