By Mark Rutland

Book Description

In The Finger of God, Mark Rutland addresses one of Christianity's most persistent tensions with remarkable candor and insight. Rather than sidestepping the uncomfortable divide between believers who prioritize moral living and those who emphasize spiritual power, Rutland confronts this schism head-on.

Drawing from his extensive ministry experience, Rutland challenges both camps to reconsider their positions. He argues that authentic Christian faith requires neither choosing sides nor compromising convictions, but instead embracing a more complete understanding of spiritual life. Through personal anecdotes and real-world examples, he demonstrates how holiness and divine power naturally complement rather than compete with each other.

This book offers a refreshing perspective for anyone wrestling with questions about spiritual authenticity and effectiveness. Rutland's willingness to challenge conventional thinking within religious circles creates space for readers to explore a more integrated approach to faith. His practical insights reveal how communities can move beyond divisive debates toward a more unified and impactful witness.

Whether you find yourself drawn to ethical living or supernatural experiences, Rutland's balanced approach provides a pathway forward. The Finger of God invites readers to discover how embracing both dimensions of spirituality can lead to deeper personal transformation and more meaningful service to others. This thoughtful exploration offers hope for bridging divides that have long separated sincere believers.
