This is a wonderful book. Postmodernism, secularism, pluralism - the book briefly defines these social and cultural developments from over the past 50 years that have frustrated preachers. But he shows what questions are really being asked - "does my life have meaning in this world" - and shows that the Christian message can provide help and hope to a world overwhelmed by competing messages. There are tremendous challenges, but we have a great message. I believe he is is complimentary towards conservative Christians, and the Law-Gospel sermon is also useful. He gives suggestions and directions on what to focus on to help answer questions people are asking and what is going on in their lives throughout the week. I underlined a lot in this book! ( )
