Andrew McKinney’s Newly Released “Cultural Christianity: The Disaster of Abandoning the Gospel” is a Dynamic Call for a Return to Biblical Teachings


Bakersville, NC, June 15, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– “Cultural Christianity: The Disaster of Abandoning the Gospel”: a compelling message of the dangers of cultural permissiveness. “Cultural Christianity: The Disaster of Abandoning the Gospel” is the creation of published author Andrew McKinney, a dedicated husband, father of two, and full-time pastor who earned his associate degree in Christian ministries from Fruitland Baptist Bible College. He then went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in Christian ministries from Carolina University, where he graduated magna cum laude.

McKinney shares, “There is a messy secret within the Western evangelical church, and it is starting to get out. We’re not who we think we are, and it is becoming painfully obvious to the rest of the world around us. The secret? We have abandoned the preaching of the true gospel and, as a result, admitted thousands of people into our local assemblies who are lost and dead in their sin. This has landed the evangelical church in utter ruin and devastation. Rather than hearing the cross and the gospel of Christ proclaimed in our churches, we now hear the relative gospel, a gospel of ceremonial works that cannot save anyone. And we are facing judgment because of this. Scandals wreck whole denominations. Sin plagues our congregations and pulpits. People remain dead in their sin, and the testimony of Christ suffers shame. The church is now almost indistinguishable from the secular culture that we are called to reach. We have wholly embraced cultural Christianity.

“It is time to face the ugly truth in the mirror and return to the preaching of the true biblical gospel as revealed in Holy Scripture. We must return to preaching the fundamental truths of God’s Word. God is holy in His righteousness. Man is dead in his sin and incapable of saving himself. Hell awaits any who would dare to trust in anything other than Christ to save them, for He alone is our atonement and propitiation. Trusting in His death and resurrection is the only means of salvation from sin and hell. We must call people to repent of their sin, submit to Jesus as Lord, trust in Him alone, and follow Him.

“It is time to condemn the relative gospel in all of its forms for what it is—a false gospel. Salvation is not found in a ceremonial ritual, politician, political party, or ideology. It is found in Christ alone. We must repent, turn back to the Bible, preach it unashamedly, and trust God alone to save. It is time to condemn cultural Christianity.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Andrew McKinney’s new book will challenge spiritual leaders to consider whether they are truly teaching God’s Word.

Consumers can purchase “Cultural Christianity: The Disaster of Abandoning the Gospel” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Ann Aschauer’s ‘Satan’s Worst Nightmare’ Documents a Christian Halloween Reimagining

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Author Ann Aschauer has released "Satan’s Worst Nightmare," a book built around a real outreach event two Michigan women created by reworking Halloween into a Christian production. According to the announcement, the expanded title reads "Satan’s Worst Nightmare: A Testimony of Recognizing, Fighting and Winning Today’s Spiritual Warfare" and it follows two small-town mothers, identified as Annie and Kelly, during the initial development of what the publisher calls a potentially unprecedented theatrical work: the story of Christ’s Resurrection told from Satan’s point of view.

The book arrives from Covenant Books, a Christian publishing house, and comes after Aschauer’s earlier novels including "Counselor," "Vision," and "Sparrows," as well as her prior nonfiction publications. Aschauer has a background in theater, playwriting and drama education, and taught middle school English and drama, experience the publisher says shaped how she reconstructed the obstacles the two women faced in building the event.

The narrative frames the project as spiritual warfare in a literal sense — prayer, obstacles, and what the release calls attacks and opposition standing between the women and a finished outreach. "This story shows that God can use anyone to do remarkable things that bring Him glory," Aschauer said in the announcement, adding that the original event became a testimony to everyone who helped build it. "I pray readers will see their own potential to make a difference in ways they never imagined possible," she said.

The book is being sold through bookstores and online retailers including Amazon, Apple’s iTunes Store, Google Play and Barnes and Noble, per the publisher.

What the announcement doesn’t specify is how the original event has evolved since — whether "Satan’s Worst Nightmare" is still staged annually in the women’s community, or whether the book is meant to document a one-time production. That detail is left to readers to find on their own.

Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective

At Studio CarryOnHarry, we see Aschauer’s career trajectory as instructive for faith-based creators working in theatrical spaces. Her progression from drama educator to playwright to novelist reveals how technical storytelling craft and spiritual conviction can reinforce each other. By teaching middle school drama, she developed an intuitive understanding of how audiences connect with narrative—not through sermon, but through character, conflict, and transformation. That foundation shapes how she approaches faith narratives: not as didactic messages, but as dramatic experiences. Her earlier novels like "Counselor" and "Vision" suggest an author learning to weave theological themes into structured plots. With "Satan’s Worst Nightmare," Aschauer applies those hard-won skills to document a real community event, transforming grassroots ministry into publishable testimony. For Christian creators, her arc demonstrates that investing in craft—understanding how stories actually move people—strengthens rather than dilutes faith-centered work.

Author Releases Novel About First Responder’s Life After 9/11 at No Cost

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Author Erin Strong is offering her novel "She Never Left Ground Zero: A Novel of Courage, Love, and the Hidden Cost of 9/11" as a free download through September 30, according to the announcement. No registration, email address, purchase, subscription, or review is required, and coincides with the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

The novel is fiction but draws on the real experience of an NYPD officer, per the announcement. It centers on Sofia Vega, an NYPD officer whose work amid the smoke and debris in the aftermath leads to lasting consequences she and her family must face. Strong has said she wanted to write about what happened to first responders and their families after press coverage of the attacks faded — a theme that echoes a broader body of anniversary-year 9/11 literature, including nonfiction essay collections and survivor accounts published or reissued around the same milestone.

According to Strong, "I wanted to tell a deeply personal story about what happened after the television cameras moved on." "Many first responders and their families continued living with the consequences of September 11 for years. This novel honors their courage, their sacrifices, and the people who loved them through it all."

The free download is available at sheneverleftgroundzero.com. The book will also remain for sale on Amazon and other retailers after the promotional window closes. Strong’s team can be reached through the same website or by phone.

Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective

At Studio CarryOnHarry, we see Strong’s September timing as a textbook example of anniversary marketing strategy. Major commemorative dates like the 25th anniversary of 9/11 generate enormous search volume and media attention—precisely when potential readers are already thinking about the subject matter. By anchoring a free promotion to this peak-interest window, authors capture visibility they’d need to spend significantly on advertising to achieve otherwise. The counterintuitive logic: giving away the book for free during high-traffic periods can actually drive more long-term sales than traditional paid campaigns, because it builds audience reach, generates word-of-mouth momentum, and establishes the title in readers’ minds before the promotional window closes. When the book returns to paid status in October, those who downloaded it free become natural candidates for follow-up engagement—reviews, recommendations, and future purchases. It’s a calculated play on consumer psychology and search behavior that extends the book’s commercial lifespan well beyond September.
