As author Chuck Colson puts it, "We live in a culture that is at best morally indifferent ... in which Judeo-Christian values are mocked ... in which violence, banality, meanness, and disintegrating personal behavior are destroying civility and endangering the very life of our communities." It is no small wonder that Colson--the founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries and author of several renowned Christian works--considers this book the most important work of his life. America, Colson states, is now in a post-Judeo-Christian era. Technically, this is what "postmodernism" means. In a generation in which the most respected brands of thought about reality declare that "God is dead," it is clear that a faith-based worldview does not prevail. So how do we teach our children that belief in God is respectable and intelligent? How do we fulfill our mandate to make "disciples of all nations" when friends and coworkers find the Christian perspective foolhardy and--in terms of rational thought--almost insane? Most important, how do we renew our entire culture, especially as it infects the global community, with the "common grace" of reinstating a prevailing belief in God and in His moral order? These questions' implications are far-reaching, and Colson's thorough inquiry is a ready match for the challenge. In effect, this book delivers a logical, more than just "because the Bible says so" framework for interpreting the Gospel to the postmodern world, while also illustrating the vision for a culture based entirely on Biblical principles--powerful tools, indeed. Christians are taught to love God with all their hearts, all their strength, and all their minds. How Now Shall We Live emphasizes that not to use one's mind in this idea-saturated culture is to abandon dying neighbors to bleed by the side of the road while going about one's religious way. As Colson puts it, "turning our backs on the culture ... denies God's sovereignty over all of life." It's this compassionate severity and prodding intelligence that make this book not only a good read, but a life-changing one as well. --Courtenay Gebhardt Product Description: In the How Now Shall We Live? Devotional, readers will find further encouragement to become counterculture Christians. Through inspiring true stories and compelling teaching, the 365 devotions, compiled from Chuck Colson's daily BreakPoint radio commentaries, challenge Christians to redeem modern culture by living out a biblical worldview. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great exposition on social issues from a Christian PerspectiveCharles Colsen is one of the better analytical and thought provoking commentators on cultural issues from a Christian perspective. This book is very readable but gives deep insights into how Christians can live out a biblical worldview in modern times. Rating:  - Who Will Read It?This excellent book has over 500 pages - over 600 pages including the Study Guide. If it could somehow be condensed to under 300 pages I think more people would be apt to read it. Rating: - A Great Worldview Primer for DiscipleshipAs my title suggests, Colson's book would be a great worldview primer for discipleship purposes. In a day and age where people believe that creation is an accident and God is a non-issue, we have to begin by demonstrating that it is more logical to look to a Creator than to presume that all of creation is a coincidence, what Colson called pre-evangelism. To take it a step further, many people in the church don't even have a Biblical worldview. This book equips you to begin spiritual ...

If only everyone, whether Christian or not, would read and consider this book how much better our society would be. The values expressed here far surpass what any governmental program or programs could ever hope to achieve. Well worth taking the time to read thoughtfully and ACT ON. Rating: - An excellent resourceThis book is a must for anyone seeking a clear perspective on the worldview multiplicities that have become the norm in American culture. Well written and researched (a Colson trademark), it is full of powerful illustrations as well as ordered arguments for the enduring truth of the Judeo-Christian worldview.
