2000 Gold Medallion Award winner! Christianity is more than a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is also a worldview that not only answers life's basic questions-Where did we come from, and who are we? What has gone wrong with the world? What can we do to fix it?-but also shows us how we should live as a result of those answers. How Now Shall We Live? gives Christians the understanding, the confidence, and the tools to confront the world's bankrupt worldviews and to restore and redeem every aspect of contemporary culture: family, education, ethics, work, law, politics, science, art, music. This book will change every Christian who reads it. It will change the church in the new millennium.… (meer)
I have read quite a few of the Christian worldview books and this one is one of the best. It is kind of a modern follow-up to Francis Schaeffer's How Then Should We Live. Colson and Pearcey set up the book using the Creation - Fall - Redemption - Restoration model. They have very interesting true life stories to introduce each section. They also bring in the relative historical philosophy that helps explain where and why we are in this postmodern age. Ideas are given to help Christians think through how to work out their worldview and practically influence in our culture. ( )
One of the early defining books on the subject of worldview. Using as a structure Creation, The Fall, Redemption and Restoration we are led through discussions on Darwinism, Sin, Utopianism, Apologetics, The Culture of Death, Multiculturalism, Naturalism and many other issues in the search for answers in a world of opposing worldviews. Each section is introduced by a story that illustrates and presents the practical application of what will be discussed. Nancy Pearcey, who was influenced by her time spent with the Philosopher-Theologian, Francis Sheaffer, provides the philosophical--intellectual underpinnings of the book while Colson provides knowledge of culture, theology, intellectual depth and a wealth of experience. Well written, interesting book that is easy to follow yet challenging in its thought. ( )

We dedicate this book to the memory of Francis A. Schaeffer, whose ministry at L'Abri was instrumental in Nancy's conversion and whose works have had a profound influence on my own understanding of Christianity as a total world view.

In Ecuador, the peaks of the Andes jut more than two miles into thinning air. Within their cratered throat, the green incisor-shaped mountains hold the old colonial center of Quito, its ornate Spanish architecture surrounded by poured-concrete high rises. Puffy clouds drawn through high mountain passes drift low over the city. Beneath them, banks of pink and white houses scatter like petals over the base of the mountains.

Without a biblical worldview, all the great teaching goes in one ear and out the other. There are no intellectual pegs ... in the mind of the individual to hang these truths on. So they just pass through. They don't stick. They don't make a difference. - George Barna

By embracing God's truth, understanding the physical and moral order he has created, lovingly contending for that truth with our neighbors, then having the courage to live it out in every walk of life. Boldly and yes, joyously.
