Milk, Meat and the Missing Map: How the Sacraments Faded (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798242381933)

Milk. Meat. And the Missing Map is for the believer who loves Jesus deeply-but quietly wonders why faith still feels confusing, unstable, or incomplete.

Many Christians were given the essentials: believe, confess, be saved. That foundation is true. But when faith stops at the foundation, formation suffers. And without context-without the "why" behind church history, sacraments, and structure-Christianity can feel like a maze of denominations instead of a timeline of truth.

This book restores orientation.

With clarity and conviction, it explains how the Protestant stream formed, why Baptist theology became strong in roots yet narrow in lanes, how sacraments slowly faded, and why the Five-Fold Ministry was often silenced through containment rather than taught through maturity. You'll learn what to keep from where you came from, what to release without guilt, and how to pursue depth without feeling like you're departing from God.

You are not deconstructing.
You are discerning.

If you've ever felt tension between sincerity and structure... between emotion and endurance... between what you were taught and what Scripture actually includes-this book will give you language, framework, and stability.

Because the problem was never your hunger.
The problem was the missing map.

Inside, you'll discover:

• Christianity as a timeline, not a denominational maze

• Why "simple faith" sometimes becomes reduced faith

• How sacraments were meant to shape, not save

• The real purpose of the Five-Fold: equipping, unity, maturity

• What to keep, what to release, and how to grow without guilt

For readers who are ready to move from milk to meat-and finally understand the map.
