Paul Anderson-Walsh is both a friend and a prophet to the modern church. A friend because his heart longs to see those who follow Christ be set free from the constraints of the religious legalism which holds so many back from their full potential. A prophet because he loves the church enough to boldly speak the truth which opens the door to freedom, even when the truth stands in stark contradiction to the false traditions many in the church have mistakenly embraced as sound doctrine.
Paul is interested in growth, both for himself and others. The Bonsai Conspiracy is a book which will cause you to grow. It is simultaneously a weed killer and fertilizer. This book will challenge the way you think. It will kill the weeds of an old paradigm which chokes out our growth in grace and it will fertilize a way of seeing things which is new for many.
For too long, many of us have tried to grow within the narrow confines of a religious pot which will not let our spiritual roots find depth. We have allowed the limbs of our spiritual lives to be pruned by manipulative ministry which has left us looking normal but in reality, being dwarfed and stunted in our growth. The Bonsai Conspiracy is about to change all that in your life. I encourage you to open your mind to new ways of understanding. Through his writing and his teaching, Paul Anderson-Walsh has stimulated my mind and motivated my heart towards a stronger grace walk. He is an agent of change in the lives of those he touches.
While it is inadvisable for any Christian to be gullible, it is of utmost importance to be teachable. For the first 29 years of my Christian walk, I knew that what I was doing was not working for me. It was only when I was willing to lay aside the sacred cows I had thought were sacred doctrines that I began to experience freedom.
Do not believe what Paul says just because you read it in this book. However, to the extent that you see biblical evidence for what he has written, I encourage you to cast off old perspectives and be willing to experience a revolutionary change of mind. This book is solidly biblical and has the potential to be used by God to revolutionize your life.
I predict that The Bonsai Conspiracy will be widely received because the church is ready for this book. We are tired of religious regiment which is void of life and we are ready for a change. A grace revolution is gaining momentum all across the church. This book is fuel for that movement of God
s Spirit. Read if carefully and prayerfully because if you take its contents to heart, you will likely find your own life being transformed in the process.
