Every once in while the people of God need to read books
like this to see what we need to be doing.
We need to know the spiritual needs
of the present generation. We need to practice discipleship. We need to reach
our world one person at a time for Jesus Christ.
Post Christian is written by a nerd for the general public.
It is not a handbook for the selected few. Everyone needs to read it. Piatt
even quotes Austin Power’s father who is not in any way to be considered
Christian. And Powers is definitely a nerd.
As people in this Post Christian world we need to find that
dream upon which we can hang our hopes and rest. We have to orientate ourselves
to a way without the benefits of seeing the destination in the distance.
Abraham in the book of Genesis did so and was rewarded.
We need to show people how to make the leap to faith
required, trusting that in doing so we will find God in the process, Piatt
suggests.
It is also pointed out what truth is not. In fact, Piatt records,
truth is not propositional. It can’t be encapsulated in an argument or
justified with force.
Truth is seen in a life style.
Just what is the way to reach the Post Christian world? This
book in seventeen chapters explores that question. A person may have to leave
themselves vulnerable. But that may be what the Post Christian world is looking
for.
It is published by Jericho Books and retails for $20.00
