How Now Shall We Live? - Paperback

by Charles Colson (Author), Nancy Pearcey (Author)

2000 Gold Medallion Award winner!

Christianity is more than a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is also a worldview that not only answers life's basic questions―Where did we come from, and who are we? What has gone wrong with the world? What can we do to fix it?―but also shows us how we should live as a result of those answers.

How Now Shall We Live? gives Christians the understanding, the confidence, and the tools to confront the world's bankrupt worldviews and to restore and redeem every aspect of contemporary culture: family, education, ethics, work, law, politics, science, art, music. Now with study guides for small groups, this relevant and practical book guides readers through building a strong Christian worldview of their own.

Through inspiring true stories and compelling teaching, Charles Colson and Nancy Pearcy 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

This classic book will change every Christian who reads it. It will change the church in the new millennium.
