Synopsis

Christendom is dead. And that's a good thing. The Christian culture that has underpinned Western society for centuries has been eroded. We're now at the point where to disagree with people on issues such as marriage and sexuality, is seen as hateful. Christians are no longer seen as honorable, but as bigots. But history testifies that the more people try to destroy Christianity, the more it grows. So we are entering an exciting period of time because we're back in the place where Christ's church can thrive - at the margins of society. In this stirring, passionate book, Matt Chandler shows us we need Christian courage like never before, and how to live with compassion and conviction, able to look around positively and reach out confidently. It encourages us not to be thwarted by fear, but to depend on God and have confidence that Christ will build his church, despite continual marginalization. A must-read for any Christian who wants to understand how to stand firm and walk forwards in an increasingly secular culture.

So what should we as followers of Ch......more

Goodreads review by Zachary on July 17, 2021

I typically respect Matt Chandler's thought processes and even enthusiasm when it comes to exploring the relationship between Christianity and contemporary culture. Which is why this book ended up being fairly disappointing. I think that this started off as a sermon series that became a book and pro......more
