Book description from Amazon:
“How do we live faithfully in a country becoming more and more hostile to our faith in Christ?”
“Like the Israelites in Babylon, we must find a way to maintain our faith in the midst of a pagan culture. But that requires we answer two crucial questions:
- How did we get here?
- How do we prepare for the dark and difficult days ahead?
In The Church in Babylon, Dr. Lutzer answers both of these questions. He will walk you through the many parallels between the church in America and God’s people in Babylon, and embolden you to be a gospel witness. You’ll be encouraged not to compromise your faith even when under constant pressure from all corners of society. And more than all this you will have a fresh encounter with Jesus Christ, as you consider the biblical role of those in exile.”
My Review:
This well-written, readable book is eye-opening, convictIng, and encouraging. The author’s purpose in writing this book is to bring believers in our nation to an awareness of all the social and moral changes taking place around us, and then giving Biblical instruction on how to maintain a clear testimony for Christ during these troubled times. Dr. Lutzer compares our situation today with the Jews who lived in captivity in Babylon, and the similarities are striking. The author writes about all of these things in a very forthright and sure manner. By the end of the book, the call to action in a Christlike manner is very clear. I’m thankful for the impact this book has already had on my life.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
