What are the "Sacred Cows" of the Christian life? Why are they there? And should they be challenged?

What is a 'Sacred Cow'....?

Gilpin describes a Sacred Cow as "a universally accepted truth, with no arguments or disagreements". This is where Giplin tries to go against these truths and help you become a stronger person and turn you into a champion of Jesus.

In Sacred Cows Make Great BBQs, Dave Gilpin attempts to round up some the sacred cows so happily grazing in the fields of church life, and confront them in his unique, relaxed and informal, yet incisive style. Sacred Cows Make Great BBQs is a penetrating and fresh read, which stands alone as a unique outlook on some beliefs and Christianity as a whole.

Fifteen myths so prevalent in the Christian world today are dealt with in Sacred Cows Make Great BBQs, in an elegant and real way. Dave Gilpin sets out to release people back into the real freedom and successes of authentic Christian living.

For the sake of the future church, in Sacred Cows Make Great BBQs Dave Gilpin has become the smiling assassin of the holy cow. Not like any other book before it, Sacred Cows Make Great BBQs is a voice that has been waiting to speak for a long time and Gilpin expresses himself as true and real as any other author has done.

    Suits mainly someone in leadership in a big corporate Church. Lots of stuff on how to sack paid workers and change songs regularly. Starts off really well with some gems but the latter chapters are a bit of a rant.

    You know the thoughts you have had about things you see and hear in church, you also know that it feels a bit wrong to have those thoughts. No longer! Dave Gilpin has a great way of explaining things that your brain knew about but hadn't told you yet in a way you understood. If you want to learn about the real Christian life and have fun doing it, buy this book!

    I read this book after it was recommended by a friend. Whilst it made me laugh, it challenged my way of thinking, and took some of the pressure off. Dave Gilpin writes in a way which is easy to read, and understand.

    This book is brilliant! Having grown up in the church world all my life this book is a breath of fresh air. It cuts against all the the pressures the Christian world seems to have conjured up and helps align thinking with how God operates. I feel liberated as I do my bit to build church and establish God's Kingdom in my world. The pressure is off - I just need to wholeheartedly do my best to wear Him well. Dave Gilpin walks the walk and this country is all the better for having him here doing what God called him here to do! Thanks for daring to go against the grain. Ps. Love the video! There's no udder like it ;)
