Yes, the world is an increasingly godless place. And it’s never been as pronounced as it is in this era of 24-hour news cycles. From nasty political power struggles to raunchy reality TV, everywhere we look there is evidence of our culture’s steep decline. But it’s no time for Christians to cower in fear. In The Sky Is Not Falling, bestselling author Chuck Colson equips readers with the truth about the most difficult cultural and moral issues of our day and brings clarity and sanity to a world that seems to have gone mad. His message is that Christians must be informed of the truth of today’s confusing social and political issues so that we can live with the confidence and certainty that God has the future in his hands. Every concerned Christian needs to arm themselves with the profound insights in The Sky is Not Falling.
Synopsis
THIS IS NO TIME FOR FAINT HEARTS!
“The 2008 elections left moral conservatives perplexed,” writes Charles Colson in this poi- gnant book. “Though the majority of Ameri- cans hold views to the right of center, voters elected a government that is more left of cen- ter than any in our nation’s history. The results deepen a malaise I’ve sensed among evangeli- cals over our ability to change the culture. On all sides I hear battle-weary Christians talk about abandoning cultural engagement and tending our own backyard instead.”
But Charles Colson will have none of that. This extraordinary volume represents nothing less than a robust call to courage, hope and re- demptive action.
In The Sky Is Not Falling, one of our wisest cul- tural physicians not only diagnoses the causes of America’s current maladies but presents a clear and compelling prescription for our cul- ture’s decline. His insights will arm you with a distinct vision for living with renewed opti- mism about the future.
