Chuck Colson says it is "the most important book I have ever written." This study guide explores the content of How Now Shall We Live, providing related Scripture passages for reflection as well as questions that will challenge readers to put into action the principles discussed in the book. The guide is suitable for individual study or for use as a curriculum source for two 13-week sessions with a church group, book group, or neighborhood group.
Nancy Pearcey wrote her latest book, Saving Leonardo, while serving as research professor of Worldview Studies at Philadelphia Biblical University. Pearcey studied Christian worldview at L'Abri Fellowship in Switzerland with Francis Schaeffer, and was later named the Francis A. Schaeffer Scholar at the World Journalism Institute in New York City. She earned a masters degree from Covenant Theological Seminary, and pursued further graduate work in the History of Philosophy at the Institute for Christian Studies in Toronto. Pearcey has been a commentator on Public Square Radio, the founding editor of the daily radio program "BreakPoint," and has appeared on NPR and C-SPAN. Currently she is a fellow at the Discovery Institute and editor-at-large of The Pearcey Report. She coauthored a column in Christianity Today, and has authored or contributed to several books, including The Soul of Science and How Now Shall We Live? (with Charles Colson, contributions by Harold Fickett). Her most recent book was the bestselling Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity, which won the 2005 ECPA Gold Medallion Award for best book of the year on Christianity & Society.
Pearcey is homeschooling her son and has taught several homeschool courses for high schoolers, most recently a course based on her new book, Saving Leonardo: A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on Mind, Morals, & Meaning. She discovered that making the concepts clear and simple enough for high schoolers made the book far more accessible for all readers. She has decided that teens make the best editors, and from now on, she hopes to teach all her books to teens before they are published.
