Let’s Get It Right!: No Froth, No Frills; Just Salt and Light

Let's Get It right takes an incisive look at the social context and practice of 21st century Christianity. In it, the author distinguishes between the church as an organization operating along secular lines and the church as an organism, a living system made up of all who believe in the authenticity of the Bible and the sacrificial death of Christ. The central message to all born again believers is to adopt and maintain a lifestyle of authentic Christianity. Let's Get It right suggests that a meaningful way of doing this is by avoiding the frills and froth characteristic of the church as a mere organization and refocusing on the true gospel of Christ. The book makes a special appeal to Caribbean Christians to lead the way back to authentic Christianity.

Dr. Evelyn considers this strategic positioning to be God’s purposeful investment in her life so that she can be salt and light in her sphere of influence.
