Like Pastors, like congregation! What else do we expect in a generation where being a pastor is no longer a calling by God? The earlier book, Message to the Ignorant Church is largely a focus on the Church as a body. Diary of an Angry Christian is a sequel and directed at the individual members in the Church.
My focus is more on these individual independent Churches where no one could control them, so many of their founders submit to no one. They have no Spiritual Fathers or mentors to advise or supervise them. They have not gone through proper spiritual training, formal or informal, to know or establish a proper vision. They do Church as they think and interpret the Bible as they like. Once a member is not satisfied by their standards, the gate is opened for him to leave. Gradually we are breeding a generation of victim-Christians, vagabond-Christians impacting negatively on the society. No wonder someone said the Church in Nigeria is a kilometre wide but an inch deep. The Church is sick!
All I have written here are observations I have made across the Churches in so many years of being a journalist of the gospel. I hope that those who would read these observations would attach some seriousness to it, knowing fully well that the Church must change, march forward with zest and elan, that the gates of hell may not prevail against it.

Finally a brave journalist and Christian leader, Bola Adewara has caught the bull by the horn and ventured confrontationally and intentionally into those dreaded but contemporary areas of our Christian faith and doctrines we refused to discuss. Though one may not agree with his positions and opinions on some of those matters, at least and at last, the unholy silence has been broken, and the myths busted. Diary Of An Angry Christian will allow a long-awaited discussion. Come to think of it; we are not relating or fellowshipping correctly in the body. We are like competitors in a rat race of who has the biggest church building or who is the richest or most travelled. No wonder revival tarries.
Is this the Church Jesus died for engaging in the survival of the fittest? Could it be the reason for the persecution to SHAKE up? Jesus said, “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples if ye have love one to another.” (John 13:35 ). Let us lift Jesus, strengthen the weak, help the poor and defend the Body of Christ. Let’s read and listen to the Holy Spirit and see what Bola has put forward as the 40 Observations in Christianity today.

I write to congratulate Bola Adewara not only for the scholarly erudition but more importantly the unfettered boldness demonstrated in this volume which aimed at piercingly exposing the wrongs, hypocrisies, deceptions, misgivings, ignorance, and such vices that have terrorized Christendom in recent times.
The author has presented personal experiences in such moving prose that compels readers to compulsively and systematically go through until the last page before dropping it. There is something in this book for every segment of its readership: leadership, followership, critics, abusers, apologetics, and kindred diversities. This book will hit every one of us below the belt; and that’s the mark of a great message.
I have every confidence that this book will help to instigate corporate awareness, self-examination and correctives for every member of the Kingdom of Christ. And in the consequence, the emerging and increasing errors of the church will be effectively minimized or even eliminated to give way to a cleaner and more effective body of Christians as originally envisioned by Christ for His church.
