Sinners in the Hands of an Angry Church : Finding a Better Way to Influence Our Culture

Written by a former vice president of Focus on the Family, this is a book for Christians who want to take the high road in the personal and corporate war on culture. Far from a prescription for apathy, this book is a passionate call to Kingdom activity--and our mission as ambassadors to a world Christ died for, not as conquerors who would remake it in our image.

If America is sliding into a moral swamp, what''s the best Christian response? The hardball approach of the religious right? Or is there a more productive way to engage our culture? Dean Merrill, a former vice president with Focus on the Family, challenges us to transform society--and our own hearts--from the inside out. Sinners in the Hands of an Angry Church is about attitude, about living out our convictions in a Christ-like manner instead of bullying our way into the system like any other loud and selfish government lobby. Merrill shows why returning to the "good old days" is a wish based on a myth. He reveals how God has worked mightily throughout history in spite of decadent cultures, and how he can and will work today in the American culture. Far from a prescription for apathy, this book is a passionate call to Kingdom activity -- and our mission as ambassadors to a world Christ died for, not as conquerors who would remake it in our own image.
