Publisher's summary

Christianity is more than a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is also a worldview that answers life's basic questions and shows us how we should live as a result of those answers. How Now Shall We Live? equips Christians to confront false worldviews and live redemptively in contemporary culture.

True Christianity goes far beyond John 3:16 - beyond private faith and personal salvation. It is nothing less than a framework for understanding all of reality. It is a worldview.

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 true 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.

    What a overview of the Christian life!

    This is a super audio and Colson has credibility from life at the top, to his fall with time spent in prison. Our accountability group will use this as a study/ discussion for the fall.

    Timely even 25 years later

    With the turn of each page, I wondered if he wrote this.yesterdau. what prophetic insight and helpful lasting truths. having a larger framework to Creation,the Fall, Redemption, Restorative helps us address what is going on in our world and how we can engage people to think diffrronanswer the ontological questions we all wrestle with: How did I get here? What is the purpose of my life? Where am I going?

    Good Book

    Audio chapters did not line up with paper book chapters. Other than that, great performance.

    Timely Book in Todays World

    Easy read but challenging, thought provoking in todays culture. Should be read by all Christians today to help understand and explore how we should live as Christians

    Pursuing a Christmas Worldview in a Brother Would

    Practical, engaging insights to Christianity that go far beyond heating and believing. Colson has the timeless "been there, don that" insights that grow and matur Christmas. Winsom, intentional, and sage insights in today's increasingly secular world.

    Reminders of the importance of Christian World View

    The In depth perspective of how each topic explained ties to Christianity and the foundations of America draws your mind away from the distractions of secular life and back towards how God calls us to live.

    A great summary of the difference between the secular and Christian worldview

    Great book. A good compliment to Nancy Pearcys book Total Truth. I love the comment about principle versus power. I think that is a foundational difference in many of the topics of today.
