How Now Shall We Live?



I have just finished reading Chuck Colsons book, How Now Shall We Live? and it is a book that I would recommend to everyone. Though it is a lengthy book it is not a hard read. It is also a very timely book even though it was written a number of years ago.
He first deals with the opposing worldviews and how important it is for us as Christians to have a Biblical worldview. Therefore the first eleven chapters of Genesis are important as they tell us where we came from, what went wrong and what God is doing to redeem the world and creation. He then shows how we can be involved in the work of restoration.
In the last chapter he asks the question, "Can Christians really make a difference in the world?" I have just put together a book which each of my brothers and sisters helped to write about our parents. Though mom and dad were not earth movers they did make a difference. They have thirteen of their children and grandchildren that are involved or have been involved in ministry. Can Christians make a difference? My parents did.
