Publisher Description
Poverty, Same-Sex Marriage, Racism, Sex Slavery, Immigration, Persecution, Abortion, Orphans, Pornography—how are we supposed to respond to all of this?
In this companion piece to Counter Culture, David Platt provides Biblical support and practical action steps to help Christians take a courageous and compassionate stand on some of the most controversial issues of our time, and highlights dozens of ways individuals and churches can get involved at both the local and international level.
The stage is set for the God of the universe to do the unthinkable, the unimaginable, the shocking, and the scandalous. And he wants you to be a part of it. It’s time to take a stand for Christ, join the fight against injustice, and counter culture!

Great
This book opens our eyes to things many of us Christians have forgotten.Jesús renews our compassion through this text and makes our heart move toward what’s most urgent: Spreading the gospel to those that the world has excluded.
Did this guy think at all before writing this book?
Not only is this glorified pamphlet poorly written, its ideas are nearly satirical. I found the section on religious liberty particularly amusing. He argues for increased religious liberty in America and juxtaposes his definition of religious liberty with countries that have state religions. However, the entire purpose of this book is to convince people to pressure lawmakers into essentially making Christianity a state religion. You can’t argue that you want religious liberty when you want people of all religions to be legally forced to uphold the rules of your own religion. 1 star. try harder next time
