Publisher's Summary:
This book is direct and to the point. In it we share a word the church does not want to hear in this modern age of political correctness. But we really need to consider the implications. "You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it."
We must start with the narrowness. Many people are made nervous by this. It is obvious that most pastors and priests are. How can you build a church by telling the people things like this? It is not good to talk about exclusiveness. This is certainly part of the narrowness of the gate. In modern America this is where we get into trouble very quickly from the PC media police. Jesus could not have made it clearer. This aspect of the narrowness is made clear by many things he said.
If you are into the words of Jesus typeset in red ink - these are in red. He lays it out boldly - in a way that cannot be ignored. "Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved." However, it is obvious to us all that today many local church pastors have trouble saying that Jesus is the gate, the door to the life abundant. It is commonly not preached because the whole approach sounds a bit narrow-minded. But it is much stronger than that. As you will see in this book, many powerful, active church members will find themselves outside with no way to enter heaven.

Salvation Truths Only A Few Ever Find or Accept!
This publication relates important truths ---that will shock and horrify most so-called Evangelical Christians in America today. Very few individuals actually are chosen in each generation for eternal life and salvation! The Gate is truly very ---very ---very ---narrow ---and only a few ever find it! S.R. MATT 7: 13-14. What most people hold dear to their hearts as Biblical Truth ---regarding salvation and eternal life ---is shockingly in error. This book lays-out the real truth ---the 'Truth of The Word' ---and the truth is not pleasant to discover!
Truth for the Church today
I really appreciate the author's honesty and transparency in describing his own experiences as a deeply committed believer in his Savior and Messiah. David makes it clear about what it means to walk the narrow way and reminds the reader of our Savior and Messiah's own words.

I 'read' The Narrow Gate as an audiobook, so this is a two-in-one review of both the content and the presentation.
The content was excellent. The Narrow Gate is examing the trend for the Christian church to be inclusive, to welcome everyone, and pointing out that it takes more than tithing and church attendance to be a Christian. His points are well-thought out and logical, and backed up by relevant Bible quotations. I found myself agreeing with everything he said (but also being worried by some of the churches he's attended over the years).
The Narrow Gate is easy to understand yet thought-provoking, one of those books I'm sure I'll get even more from the second time around.
But no matter how good the content, an audiobook flies or fails based on the narrator.
