Is the world turning its back on God? Western civilization is standing at a crossroad a crossroads where God is beckoning his people to do as the prophet Jeremiah did. To stand up and speak the truth To follow God, even if it hurts To weep for the rudderless people you meet every day To pray and influence our culture for Christ In Jeremiah s day, a time much like our own, public life was becoming dominated by pagan ideas and practices. Jeremiah showed courage and passion even through his sufferings - to show us how to live for God in today s difficult times. This is the story of his life and ministry: from it you will find down-to-earth help and fresh examples on how to live, think, and feel in a godless culture and encouragement to proclaim the truth of God s word - regardless of cost. Your stand may also lead to opposition, hostility and even persecution but God promises that in the end victory will be yours as you grow in courage and devotion.

This review is from: Courage to Stand: Jeremiah's Message for Post-Christian Times (Paperback)
Wow, what a great book, easy to read, and easy to understand. If you want to see where
America and our post christian times are,you need to read this book.Philip Ryken does a wonderful job relating Jeremiah's life to what I am afraid evangelism will be facing in the future. I love the quote he put in this book from Francis Schaeffer made in the 1960's, "Jeremiah provides us with an extended study of an era like our own, where men have turned away from God and society has become post-Christian." Mr. Ryken provides the reader through the life struggles of Jeremiah and gives us insight as to how we are to live for Christ in a post-Christian culture.
