Synopsis

John Adams and Thomas Jefferson lived in serious times. And, because they chose to live serious lives they changed the course of history. Serious times met with serious lives. This is the means by which the kingdom of God is advanced and the life of a Christ follower is measured. // As the modern era transitions into postmodern turbulence, we too find ourselves in serious times. How can you make a difference in the world today? How can you be an influence for Christ? How can you live a life that matters? // There is a great movement of God that has been set loose in the world. In this book James Emery White explores what it means to be in the front lines of what God is doing. It's about action. But more than that it's about character and our connectedness with God.

I received this book free as an unsolicited thank you from Gordon Cromwell Seminary for supporting a student there and quite frankly, I didn't have any intention of reading it when it first arrived. Now, I am glad I did. There is a history section at the beginning of the book that places our current......more

Goodreads review by Jody on February 01, 2019

I had much higher hopes for this book from the title. There is really nothing here that the great church leaders have been preaching since the beginning of the church. If you are new reading Christian writing this may rate higher for you, but there really isn’t anything here I haven’t read before.......more

Great reminder to dig in and engage in culture with both mind and heart, belief and behavior.......more

Goodreads review by Julia on December 29, 2014

This was a compact, easy read with great motivating ideas. White emphasizes four areas in our lives that need tending - the soul, the mind, vocation and the church (community). If we can choose to discipline ourselves and combat the comfort of apathy in these areas we will make a real difference in......more
