This was the first book I picked up after the family vacation. It was given to me by a member our neighborhood group. (neighborhood group = people from our church that live in very close proximity to one another, that meet together to study Gods word, build meaningful relationships with one another, pray for one another, serve our neighbors, to be and make disciples of Jesus Christ.) This was a very quick read for me. I just ate it up. I felt that Jim was writing my attitude towards people exactly. As Jim writes, "This isn't a book about what's going badly in the culture, but rather about how Christians should respond to it." This book isn't about politics, but how to stand firm on principles while we make sure our hearts are in the right places. He reminds us the God doesn't call us to "win" but to obey him and be faithful, and letting God handle the rest. He doesn't tell us to remove ourselves from the world or those who disagree with us, but to engage those who we disagree with in a loving way and find common ground with them. I would recommend this to any Christian.
