Onward
by Russell Moore | Book Summary
Author: Russell Moore
|
Russell Moore attempts to answer these questions in his book Onward. He calls Christians to remember that Christianity is not "on the ropes" or "on its last leg." The church may be losing influence in the nation but it is also more consistent than where it has been in times past. Christianity has lost its moral majority status, but this is the perfect opportunity to reclaim its original status seen as freakish and counter-cultural. Now is not a time to build bunkers but a time to march…onward! |
