"This book has many dangerous ideas."

You are right it has many dangerous ideas. It has caused people to reexamine their lives; trust Christ for salvation; share their faith with others; become involved in their church; become involved in small group Bible studies; begin caring for other people; go on short term missions; become involved in the ministries of their church; become involved in private and public devotions; all because they have learned that God has a purpose for their lives and that is all that they do is to bring glory to God.

Of course it is dangerous also, because it causes us to see the deficiencies in our own lives and ministries and that causes envy, jealousy, anger, self-righteousness, gossip, arrogance and a haughty attitude towards those that may not agree with our theological system.

You are right it is dangerous. It should carry a warning: "Don't pick up the book if you don't want to be challenged out of your complacency and spiritual ghetto."
