Collin Hansen, Editorial Director, The Gospel Coalition "Stephen McAlpine doesn’t just describe the chilling change in our Western cultural climate. He also shows the way to follow Jesus through the storms." Glen Scrivener, Evangelist; Author, Long Story Short "If the men of Issachar ‘understood the times and knew what to do’ (1 Chronicles 12 v 32), then Stephen McAlpine has written an Issacharine book! With deft cultural analysis and profoundly biblical lenses, he helps us see the shape of faithful Christian living in our age. And while our challenges feel new, McAlpine insists that they find deep, challenging and illuminating parallels in the history of God’s people. With the help of Abraham, Daniel, Haggai and the Corinthians, McAlpine points us to cross-shaped, Christ-like, Spirit- filled wisdom that will bless and fortify a new generation—inspiring them to follow Jesus." Tim Challies Blogger; Author, Epic and Visual Theology "It’s undoubtedly a fallacy to think that any period of history has been static, free from any significant societal change. But it’s undoubtedly equally true that in our particular period of history we are witnessing change that is both swift and seismic. One of the most jarring changes for Christians has been our transformation from being good guys to bad guys. At a time like this we need guidance on how to live for Jesus, and that’s exactly the guidance Stephen McAlpine so aptly provides in this excellent book." Daniel Darling, Senior Vice-President of Communications, NRB; Author, A Way with Words and The Dignity Revolution "For too many Christians, the biggest fear is that they will be out of step with the culture; but Jesus promises that to follow him is to be, at some points, at odds with the ethos of a fallen world. Pastor Stephen McAlpine offers a refreshing call to Christian courage—and yet urges Christians to avoid rudeness and incivility. Readers will come away with both a newfound boldness to live for Christ in a confusing world and a countercultural joy that will radiate in their public and private witness."
