Living a faithful life as a Christian is becoming more
challenging being in a culture that is increasingly hostile to Christianity. Pastor Erwin Lutzer compares the life of
Daniel in Babylon with what Christians are facing in the present time. If Christians are to be lights in the present
darkness, they have to make sure they themselves are not contributing to the
darkness.
Each chapter in the book tackles the present issues of the
time and discusses how a Christian can respond to those issues or in those
situations. Some of the topics include:
the church, technology and purity; transgenderism, sexuality and the church;
Islam, immigration and the church; finding God in enemy territory; and
conflicts of conscience. The discussion
around all of these issues is thought provoking as well as challenging.
Babylon is here to stay and this book is very helpful laying out the challenges that Christians
face today. I highly recommend it. There is a separate study guide and DVD to
go with the book for use as a small group study. I would hope that many would read
this book and discuss it in a small group setting. It would provoke much meaningful
discussion.
I received this book from Moody Publishers in exchange for
this honest review.
