Publisher's summary

Uncertain. Confused. Overwhelmed.

Many Christians feel bombarded by the messages they hear and the trends they see in our rapidly changing world.

How can we resist being conformed to the pattern of this world? What will faithfulness to Christ look like in these tumultuous times? How can we be true to the gospel in a world where myths and false visions of the world so often prevail?

In This is Our Time, Trevin Wax provides snapshots of 21st-century American life in order to help Christians understand the times. By analyzing our common beliefs and practices (smartphone habits, entertainment intake, our view of shopping, sex, marriage, politics, and life's purpose), Trevin helps us see through the myths of society to the hope of the gospel.

As faithful witnesses to Christ, Trevin writes, we must identify the longing behind society's most cherished myths (what is good, true, beautiful), expose the lie at the heart of these myths (what is false and damaging), and show how the gospel tells a better story - one that exposes the lie but satisfies the deeper longing.

For an audience I’m not in

Pretty good advice to culture warriors!
I don’t know if it’s much use to those who are simply living faithful lives already though…

Still timely

I read this in 2023. I was impressed by Wax’s grasp and understanding of these myths at least 7 years ago. The myths he outlines have only gone deeper in our public consciousness. It was helpful and hopeful to hear how the Gospel is a better story (that happens to be true) and fulfills the longings the myths pretend to.

Solid reflections on the good news of Christianity

Trevin is a pretty thoughtful guy. It was welcome to hear him speaking for himself with an adorkable perk that surprised me. The reflections on applicable hopeful truth of the triune God for our times were ever so slightly quirky and subversive, if also a little too neatly tied up with bows. Thank you, Trevor and publisher(s).

No aspect of life is lived in a vacuum.

I appreciate how the author wove together so many different aspects of life to elaborate this point. Every Christian should read this book!

Loved this book. Probably because I agreed with it. Enjoyed the balance. Eager to hear discussion of it in our book club tomorrow night.

One of the best books of this generation!

this book is so applicable in so helpful to contemporary Christians that I would recommend it to any and all who wants to know what it means to be a Christian in this generation.

Wax strikes and incredible balance between the polarizing views within the church and how we should keep our gaze straight ahead on Jesus.

Enjoyed the book

Enjoyed the new application ideas with the old Gospel message. Great perspectives on the myths in western philosophy that conflict with Christ centered living.

timely

I most grew personally for the beginning section on social media. the rest of the book did not say anything I hadn't read elsewhere, but did a nice job of bringing to together in a way that coherently deals with the word of my generation, that is, millennials.
