Synopsis

Welcome to the front lines. Everywhere we turn, battle lines are being drawn—traditional marriage vs. gay marriage, pro-life vs. pro-choice, personal freedom vs. governmental protection. Seemingly overnight, culture has shifted to the point where right and wrong are no longer measured by universal truth but by popular opinion. And as difficult conversations about homosexuality, abortion, and religious liberty continue to inject themselves into our workplaces, our churches, our schools, and our homes, Christians everywhere are asking the same question: How are we supposed to respond to all this? In Counter Culture, New York Times bestselling author David Platt shows Christians how to actively take a stand on such issues as poverty, sex trafficking, marriage, abortion, racism, and religious liberty—and challenges us to become passionate, unwavering voices for Christ. Drawing on compelling personal accounts from around the world, Platt presents an unapologetic yet winsome call for Christians to faithfully follow Christ into the cultural battlefield in ways that will prove both costly and rewarding. The lines have been drawn. The moment has come for Christians to rise up and deliver a gospel message that’s more radical than even the most controversial issues of our day.

Our culture is fading fast. Our culture is crumbling consistently. Our culture is caving in to sin, darkness, and evil. Our culture is not our home, but our culture needs us and the light of the world so very badly. How can we counter culture? David Platt has provided a new resource to spur us on to......more

Goodreads review by Jo on May 19, 2019

Platt handles most of these topics with grace, Scripture, and finesse. I admire especially the chapter on Widows and Orphans—well done and gracefully handled. However, some of these topics were rooted more in Platt’s hermeneutical, white assumptions than biblical truth. I am not arguing that his int......more

Goodreads review by Michael on February 27, 2020

The author talks about 9 subjects/ areas Christians should fight against and raise their voices that are happening in our culture. At the end of each chapter he gives practical steps to affect & counter these subjects/areas. Hence that is where the Counter Culture part of the title comes in.......more
