About this title

Synopsis

A Matter of Basic Principles: Bill Gothard and the Christian Life is an analysis of the ministry, teachings and institution which Bill Gothard heads up. Are his teachings biblical? Does he himself live the according the "principles" which he lays upon others or does he live by a double standard? Does he bring his followers closer to God or into legalistic bondage? Is he resolving youth rebellion and bringing families closer together or splitting families and churches? This is the first comprehensive analysis of Bill Gothard in over 20 years and is endorsed by a number of leading Evangelicals and Christian media.
