Praise for Good Faith

A wise and accessible guide to being a Christian in the public square today. For nearly a generation there have been voices calling the church to rethink its mission and life in the post-Christian West, but this volume brings those more general and academic discussions down to earth and up to date.

Tim Keller , Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City

A landmark and thought-provoking readthat could become literal good faith through us to further a humble and winsome common good. A highly anticipated and needed must-read for every engaged thinker.

Ann Voskamp , author of One Thousand Gifts and A Holy Experience

A trustworthy guide through the emerging post-Christian order that neither denies the urgent reality of the bad news nor downplays the radical hope of the Good News. This prophetic book inspired me to rethink my own assumptions about how to live faithfully in our American exile.

Rod Dreher , journalist and author of The Benedict Option

A timely reminder that Christians dont have to conform in order to survive. It encourages those of us with deep convictions not to cower but to boldly speak truth with wisdom and love. Radical followers of Jesus can be relevant.

Francis Chan , pastor, teacher, and author of You and Me Forever

Speaks prophetically to the church by diagnosing our condition and prescribing a course of powerful treatment. Gods people must practice Spirit-filled faithfulness in a culture defined by allegiance to self. This book is a trustworthy guide for that practice.

Christine Caine , author and founder of A21 Campaign

Will equip you to live in a courageous, intelligent, loving, and faithful way in our changing culture that has grown less friendly to followers of Jesus.

Derwin Gray , pastor of Transformation Church and author of The HD Leader

Calls Christians to use their faith to make society a better place, and more importantly, they equip us to walk in courage and hope. The Christian life is a counterculture journey, for it is a light shining in darkness. This is exactly what the world needs. It is impossible for light not to change darkness, unless that light is hidden.

Banning Liebscher , founding pastor of Jesus Culture

Gives clarity to the challenges Christians face while inspiring us to recognize the power we have to rekindle a flame that will transform our world.
