In this revised and expanded edition Dr. Mohler shows us how our world is changing culturally.
He talks about:
- politics
- terrorism
- education
- dishonesty
- abortion
- technology
- atheism
and more with clarity and passion by using the Bible and other sources.
This book will help the reader understand how our culture is transforming into faithlessness, increased immorality, and rejection of the absolute truth.
About the author- Dr. R Albert Mohler JR. writes regularly on AlbertMohler.com and is the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He has been quoted in many newspapers and has been on different news shows. He lives in Kentucky with his wife and children.
My thoughts- Once I got passed the first five chapters on politics (not something I’m into), this book was very interesting.
Chapter ten was the best chapter. Being called, “Are We Raising a Nation of Wimps?” this chapter was all about how parents are over protecting their children. As a parent, I can see how easy it would be to constantly protect children, but I know that I need to trust my children to God and let their lives progress with me looking on.
The chapter on dishonesty was eye opening. It has become so easy for us as a society to lie outright or stretch the truth. It reminds me of the father in the Swiss Family Robinson who talked about telling the truth even when joking. I am making sure we use that philosophy in our lives.
All in all I would recommend this book. It has a little bit of everything for everyone from politics to education to technologies.
