For Such a Time as This

Christian Living

“The writing in this volume is decidedly crisp. Clipped sentences. Pithy insights. No long-winded explanations. The work functions as an antidote to the paralysis and numbing desensitization that many people feel when they’ve run out of outrage. . . . There are plenty of imperatives in the book, some gentle and some forceful but always wise in nature and often accompanied with biblical insights. . . . I can imagine myself using the 45-page study guide in the back of the book as a resource for discussion groups and faith communities eager to wrestle together with what difference the cross of Christ makes for believing people. . . . For those demoralized or overwhelmed by trying to live faithfully in a volatile, divided, and pessimistic political moment, there’s no time like now for taking to heart For Such a Time as This.”
