Are you embarrassed by the Bible?
The Bible is full of stories that make us uncomfortable: Israelites stoned adulterers, slaves were told to obey masters, Jesus declared that sinners go to hell, and God commanded His people to kill others, both young and the old alike. In response, many of us opt for a feel-good faith by embracing only the socially acceptable verses and passages.

In Uncensored, Brian Cosby disrupts this deadly trajectory by explaining why all Scripture is God-breathed, holy, and essential to us as believers. And he invites you to quit hiding behind the fig leaf of half-truth and embrace a healthy, passionate faith.

Embrace the "Other" Aspects of the Bible!

"Uncensored" is a book that challenges readers to read the "whole counsel of God", not just the "feel good" parts. As Cosby notes in several points the book, Christianity has tended to focus more on the "feel good" parts of the Bible (David slaying Goliath, Jesus feeding the poor) while neglecting to read the "unusual (Lot's encounter with his daughters), "boring" (genealogies) or confusing parts of the Bible. Cosby says that this isn't right. All of the Bible is to be appreciated, if readers of faith believe that the ALL of the Bible comes from God. I chose the book because of that challenge and it definitely opened my eyes to how I tend to stick to the more "comfortable" parts of the Bible. (They often happen to be the ones I tend to think I know the most about!) Note: This review is based on an electronic copy provided for reviewing purposes.
