This Is Our Time
Trevin Wax
B&H Publishing Group, 2017
226 pages
Christian books critiquing the culture is nothing new. They have been standard fare since the pilgrims landed on Plymouth. But This is Our Time does something many cultural critiques fail to do: it explains why the gospel is better. The book considers eight cultural myths that speak to us (from smartphones to shopping to sex) and instead of simply condemning, shows how authentic Christianity offers a better answer. A gifted communicator, Wax is a trusted interpreter of our times. But for this book to have its greatest impact, it needs to be read in our day. So, take up and read!
