How Now Shall We Live? - Tapa blanda

A major new title from one of the foremost evangelicals in the United States. Looking at a wide range of ethical and cultural issues, Charles Colson shows how the truth of Christianity can change the world.

Internationally known author, Charles Colson, believes this to be the most signficant book of his career. It carries a profound message needed by the church today and by individual Christians. The central theme is that faith in Jesus Christ is more than a private relationship with God; it is a way of seeing, understanding and changing the world. Christian faith brings with it basic ideas and beliefs that are the answers and counters to the world’s philosophies.

Christians often feel a loss of confidence in the face of secular philosophy as expressed in the culture of our age. The claims of scientists, New Age beliefs, shifting morality and so on can confuse. Colson aims to provide the tools to interpret and confront the false, bankrupt ideas of the world and to use the truth of Christianity to make a difference for good.

He helps his readers to evaluate their own lives and values. He offers the challenge – How Now Shall We Live?

This is a message for the church in the new millennium. Change in the world and in culture will not be achieved chiefly through political or social means, but by individual Christians knowing their faith and daring to be agents of God’s grace, and making a difference.

We all believe in something and that belief affects how we live, Charles Colson offers an inspiring and compelling understanding of how the Bible reveals an entire view of the world, an-all encompassing vision which can improve and bring blessing s to our whole life.

As we enter the 21st Century, a great battle is being fought between competing world views. People who believe in God must challenge the secular assumption that He is not, and perhaps even should not be, part of daily life.

'How shall we live?' will help all who call themselves Christians to defend their faith and live out its full implications in every arena. This includes exposing false views and values of modern culture, living a more fulfilling and satisfying life in line with the way God created us and building a society that reflects the principles of the Bible.
