This book is NOT Recommended.

Dave Austin is a highly accomplished person.  He tells you so himself at the beginning of his book, The Unfinished Cross.  He has been, and is involved in many businesses as well in the creation of successful athletes and others.  To put Austin's achievements in another way, he is a very motivational person. 

What Dave Austin's autobiographical book, The Unfinished Cross is not, despite the positive reviews, Christian in any traditional sense of what being a Christian implies.  After seeing someone do automatic writing that is supposed to be inspired by God, the author takes up the practice himself.  In the course of his writing, God tells Dave that he has lived before and has been brought back for the purpose of doing this writing, so that he can tell the world what God is really about.

I really do not need to say more, for reincarnation and being God's messenger to the world to set everyone straight, are just the "tip of the iceberg" in this book.  Austin's "wisdom" contradicts Scripture of the Holy Bible. 

Published by Hampton Roads which claims to publish books for the Evolving Human Spirit.  My recommendation, other than to have knowledge of what is being taught as Christian and is not, is to stay clear of books from this publisher, whose categories include Wicca, Shamanism, ghosts and soul travel.

With a captivating title and a cross on the dustjacket cover, it goes to demonstrate once again that it is impossible to "judge a book by it's cover."  Once and more than once when the Holy Bible is in contradiction, a red flag should go up that means caution.  When the claim of God's purpose is for someone is to tell the world the truth and set it straight about our Lord's message, a red flag must be hoisted high. 

The Truth has come. 
He was Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior,
Son of God, the Word
...complete.  Amen.
