Book Description:
Christianity is more than a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is also a worldview that answers life's basic questions and shows us how we should live as a result of those answers. How Now Shall We Live? equips Christians to confront false worldviews and live redemptively in contemporary culture. True Christianity goes far beyond John 3:16--beyond private faith and personal salvation. It is nothing less than a framework for understanding all of reality. It is a worldview. In How Now Shall We Live?, the 2000 Gold Medallion winner for best book about Christianity and society, Chuck Colson and Nancy Pearcey show that the great spiritual battle today is a cosmic struggle between competing worldviews. Through inspiring true stories and compelling teaching, they demonstrate how to * Expose the false views and values of modern culture * Live a more fulfilling life the way God created us to live * Contend for the faith by understanding how nonbelievers think * Build a society that reflects biblical principles

Fantastic read:
A great resource for every Christian and person who truly desires to understand the conflict between our culture and the Christian faith. Those who are not of the Christian faith might have a problem with Chuck's writings. After all, Biblically speaking darkness always hates it when you shine some light into it. But I do believe that even the most skeptical can gain some positive insight, some truth in what is written and possibly reconsider some of their conclusions.
A Great Worldview Primer for Discipleship:
As my title suggests, Colson's book would be a great worldview primer for discipleship purposes. In a day and age where people believe that creation is an accident and God is a non-issue, we have to begin by demonstrating that it is more logical to look to a Creator than to presume that all of creation is a coincidence, what Colson called pre-evangelism. To take it a step further, many people in the church don't even have a Biblical worldview. This book equips you to begin spiritual formation of one's worldview -- and will help alter your own as well. Having Nancy Pearcey on board for this book is a God-send. Colson's past work has had a tendency to be rather dry and laborious. Pearcey's contribution is a noticeable difference as the book flows and reads very well. Every section is broken up into smaller sections that are typically no more than a few pages, which makes it easy to set goals and get through this book -- don't let it's size discourage you! While I sometimes felt Colson was far too staunchly evangelical, I'm glad I read it and recommend it for anyone struggling to define or help others realize a proper Christian worldview.
Good:
Book was in condition that they said it was in and delivery time was satisfactory.
Excellent inspiration for all:
What an excellent and well-argued book. If only everyone, whether Christian or not, would read and consider this book how much better our society would be. The values expressed here far surpass what any governmental program or programs could ever hope to achieve. Well worth taking the time to read thoughtfully and ACT ON.
An excellent resource:
This book is a must for anyone seeking a clear perspective on the worldview multiplicities that have become the norm in American culture. Well written and researched (a Colson trademark), it is full of powerful illustrations as well as ordered arguments for the enduring truth of the Judeo-Christian worldview.
