Synopsis

It is easy to feel overwhelmed as you try to live faithfully in a culture that seems increasingly hostile to the Christian faith. With a growing backlash against religion and people of faith, it's harder than ever to hold onto your convictions while treating friends, neighbours, co-workers, and even family members who disagree with respect and compassion. Based on ground-breaking research, this timely book by the bestselling authors of unchristian explores politics, sexuality, race, gender, and religious freedom, helping you: respond with compassion, clarity and confidence to the most toxic issues of your day; discover the most significant cultural trends that are creating both obstacles and opportunities for Christians; know what you believe and why it doesn't make you a judgmental or extreme person; stop being afraid to talk about what you believe and start having meaningful conversations about tough issues; understand the heart behind opposing views and learn how to stay friends across differences.
