Book Review - Culture Shift

Welcome back. I decided that today I'm going to tell you a little bit about the book I am currently reading. The title is Culture Shift: Engaging Current Issues with Timeless Truth by R. Albert Mohler Jr.
The topic of this book, as if it isn't already pretty obviously is how do we, as Christians, go about living in our current culture while also applying the solid truth of scripture to our lives? In the face of abortion, poverty, child molestation, state-sanctioned torture, natural disasters, pornography, and corruption, how do we go about in bringing the Kingdom, that Christ so often spoke of, into the world? How can we raise our children, and while resisting temptations ourselves, be a beacon of hope to our world?
Tough questions, man. I don't know the answers. It's hard. We all fail at times. No one's perfect. People who call themselves the church are no exception. We mess up too! (Believe it or not)
Mohler tackles these questions and he wrestles with them and he doesn't let off until he's got them in an arm bar hold. He challenges our government in this book. He challenges the secular world and the nonreligious. However, most of all he challenges Christians. He presents his cases and he does it well and with much eloquence. He cites national news sources, scientific journals, court records, and, of course, the Bible.
Overall, I thought the book was a good read. Short, easy to read and highly informative. One could viably read this book in a single sitting in one day (if you are a marathon reader like me) but still glean more information from it than from a book twice its size.
A short and sweet overview and rating system you say? You got it.

Welcome

Hello there. This is my blog and you are reading it. That's a good thing because I think it is neat when people read things I have written. I guess that makes sense seeing as how I am an author. I write words down in a sequential order and people read them. Hopefully people enjoy them.
Don't worry. This is not going to be some blog where I just journal so that everyone in the world can read about my daily life. That would be rather dull. It would go something like this:
"I woke up this morning and walked to the bus stop to go to work. I worked and then came home and ate something and took a shower and smoked some cigarettes and played some World of Warcraft and hung out with my room mates and now I'm about to go to bed."
Who wants to read that everyday? No one. Being in the sales industry I think i have a pretty good handle on knowing what people want and anticipating peoples needs. I think you came here because you wanted to read something interesting and something applicable to your life. Am I right. Ha. Thought so.
So here's the deal. I will come here everyday and post multiple things and you will come and read them. How's that sound? What are the things I will post here? Who knows really...Maybe I'll talk about some awesome music or maybe the current book I'm reading. However it might also have to do with technology or possibly the most recent game I played. Maybe I'll talk about the Bible or culture or social activism. Maybe I'll just talk about something I have on my mind.
I guess there's only one real way you'll find out what I'm going to talk about next right?
