Synopsis

Uncertain. Confused. Overwhelmed.Many Christians feel bombarded by the messages they hear and the trends they see in our rapidly changing world.How can we resist being conformed to the pattern of this world? What will faithfulness to Christ look like in these tumultuous times? How can we be true to the gospel in a world where myths and false visions of the world so often prevail?In This is Our Time, Trevin Wax provides snapshots of 21st-century American life in order to help Christians understand the times. By analyzing our common beliefs and practices (smartphone habits, entertainment intake, our view of shopping, sex, marriage, politics, and life’s purpose), Trevin helps us see through the myths of society to the hope of the gospel.As faithful witnesses to Christ, Trevin writes, we must identify the longing behind society’s most cherished myths (what is good, true, beautiful), expose the lie at the heart of these myths (what is false and damaging), and show how the gospel tells a better story – one that exposes the lie but satisfies the deeper longing.

Goodreads review by Alex on June 05, 2020

Trevin Wax's voice on being faithful Christ-followers in these times was a refreshing, biblically-founded read. I was especially challenged by the Bible's call for us to honor our leaders, written at a time when Nero was mercilessly persecuting Christians. That's a sobering call to honor our leaders......more

Goodreads review by Bright on March 02, 2022

This book details biblical, Gospel-centered responses to the idols that our society makes out of things such as social media, marriage, politics and sex.
