In this current age, carnality, worldliness, and compromise are widely accepted as part of the normal Christian experience. But Puritan Matthew Mead raises the bar of true Christianity to its biblical level, identifies, and describes twenty facets of what he calls "the almost Christian." He thus builds the portrait of the almost Christian, the one who sits in the shadow of his own godliness, religiosity, self-righteousness, and profession, only to be found as false in all of these facets. The author's arguments are convicting. Mead then explains why and how such people go only half-way towards what biblical Christianity and offers valuable and precise applications, exhortations, and a warm and timely call to self-examination. This is indeed one of the toughest books on false vs true Christianity in all history. This book has been originally published in 1661 under the title "The Almost Christian; Or The False Professor Tried and Cast." The current edition has been proofread, typeset for eBook readers, and slightly updated for modern readers. About the author: Matthew Mead (1633-1699) was an English preacher, who served at Stepney congregation for the most of his life. He also preached in Utrecht, The Netherlands. He preached his last sermon in May 1699 and died on 16 October 1699 at Stepney.
