DESCRIPTION:
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. 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?

"In How Now Shall We Live?, the 2000 Gold Medallion winner for best book about Christianity and society, Chuck Colson and Nancy Pearcey Show that the great spiritual battle today is a cosmic struggle between competing worldviews. Through inspiring stories and compelling teaching, they demonstrate how to: // * Expose the false views and values of modern culture // * Live a more fulfilling life the way God created us to live // * Contend for the faith by understanding how nonbelievers think // * Build a society that reflects biblical principles
Major opus I now know Chuck Colson. I love the man though he has passed on. I don't agree with 100% of what he wrote either as the state of things or our action they direct. But his stories and passion for godliness, his understanding (rare) of the expansive application of faith in Christ and vast research create a book well worth the read and the heed. Very important work.. "How Now Shall We Live?" according to Al. Charles Colson discusses the most critical issues of life and explains why people have so many problems that could have been avoided. Charles Colson discusses what should be important in life. Great book. The book is a little lengthly, however, it is all very interesting. The book provides many examples to help illustrate the point he is making. I give it 5 stars. I would recommend this book to anyone who is seeking a more fulfilling, more focused, more stress free life. I believe this book could change some. "Make it part of your library." according to 2Old2Worry. I used this book in a men's study. It is wonderful. Read it! Answer the three questions: How did we get here? What went wrong? How can we fix it? Build your worldview. I also recommend you get the study guide. Study it, highlight it, mark it up. Own it! Every person who professes a relationship with Jesus should read this book.
