Reviews

[Tim Duff · Rating 4 out of 5]

All the things that were starting in the 1990's and Dr. Kennedy wrote about are coming to full fruition now. The urge to get Christians involved in the marketplace, media and politics has never been stronger.

Nothing groundbreaking. Quite repetitive too.

Just an okay book, had a couple of good quotes. Basically Christians need to be more active in the culture.
