Being the Bad Guys

How to Live for Jesus in a World that Says You Shouldn't

De: Stephen McAlpine

Narrado por: Michael B. Carnes

How to live confidently for Jesus in a culture that sees Christians as the bad guys.

The church used to be recognised as a force for good, but this is changing rapidly. Christians are now often seen as the bad guys, losing both respect and influence.

In our post-Christian culture, how do we offer the gospel to those around us who view it as not only wrong but possibly dangerous? And how do we ensure that the secular worldview does not entice us away with its constant barrage, online and elsewhere, of messages about self-determinism?

Author Stephen McAlpine offers an analysis of how our culture ended up this way and explains key points of tension between biblical Christianity and secular culture. He encourages Christians not to be ashamed of the gospel as it is more liberating, fulfilling, and joyful than anything the world has to offer. He also offers strategies for coping in this world, with its opposing values, and for reaching out to others wisely with the truth.

A Must Read!

This book is for everyone. I am a retired educator with adult children in workplaces. The message was equally appropriate, informative, and encouraging for all of us. I will share my hard copy of the book immediately.

Grounded, Well researched, Passionately expressed,

Grounded in truth, Well researched culturally, Passionately and convincingly expressed Christian apologetic on one hand and cultural guide to effectively carry the light He’s give us wherever we go. “For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God,”

The Narration

The narrator, Michael B. Carnes made frequent mistakes while reading aloud. He either took away or added his own words and even skipped a sentence as I followed along through the hard copy book.
