Synopsis

What Lies Ahead for Christians around the World?

If you follow the works of bestselling authors Malcolm Gladwell, Faith Popcorn, Daniel Pink, and other trend forecasters, you’ll appreciate learning about over 25 rings of fire that lie ahead for Christians around the world.

Len Sweet once again maps the future for the church in this sweeping survey of the twenty-first century. In the face of eruptive and disruptive culture changes from economics and communications to bioethics and beyond, how do we fight fire with fire, not only catching up to our culture but leading our friends and neighbors toward the feet of Christ? No one has done more to startle the church from its slumber than Len Sweet, and no one has equipped the church as effectively. This is a benchmark book from a seminal leader of the modern evangelical movement.

Mark Chironna provides incisive questions to stimulate creative thinking for individual or group study and an afterword that ties Len’s expansive work together and sets us on the right course for decades to come.

Leonard Sweet: theologian, public intellectual, and futurist, shares with readers his 25 different "Rings of Fire" which could be cataclysmic for the church in a volcanic 21st century culture.

Goodreads review by Tyler on December 07, 2020

The Signs of the Times If I had read "Rings of Fire" last year, I probably would have taken the whole book with a grain of salt. Having read it in 2020, one year after being published, I can say that I'm more inclined to think that Sweet is truly discerning the "signs of the times." I'll admit that I......more

Goodreads review by Karen on June 09, 2020

I wanted to hate this book...and I did for the first few chapters. College may have been the last time I used a dictionary this much to read a book. Mr. Sweet is not above making up words to add to the challenge. I have to say, though, that his observations are brilliant, sometimes snarky, and usual......more
