About this audiobook
"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 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

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Seeking a nee HOPE for Christian Worldview and found encouragement from Chuck Colson to focus. On Kingdom of GOD. Thanks!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such an interesting book and perspective. Asks good questions and makes you think. I may read it again!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Addressing contemporary cultural and philosophical issues, Colson and Pearcey attempt to demonstrate the completeness – as a “total life system” – of the Christian worldview. Using the three-fold paradigm of “creation-fall-redemption,” the authors analyze competing worldviews (especially naturalism and postmodernism) and illustrate their effects on morality and culture. As Christians, we have a “cultural mandate” to influence and even redeem the culture in which we live. A very useful and timely book, but reflects a culturally biased agenda - B+
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Coming before 9//1, some of the issues addressed are dated, but many of the issues in the book have only become hotter, if that is possible.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5One of the early defining books on the subject of worldview. Using as a structure Creation, The Fall, Redemption and Restoration we are led through discussions on Darwinism, Sin, Utopianism, Apologetics, The Culture of Death, Multiculturalism, Naturalism and many other issues in the search for answers in a world of opposing worldviews. Each section is introduced by a story that illustrates and presents the practical application of what will be discussed. Nancy Pearcey, who was influenced by her time spent with the Philosopher-Theologian, Francis Sheaffer, provides the philosophical--intellectual underpinnings of the book while Colson provides knowledge of culture, theology, intellectual depth and a wealth of experience. Well written, interesting book that is easy to follow yet challenging in its thought.
