PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Lucado (Tame Your Thoughts) issues a vociferous call for Christians to hold onto core faith principles. He notes that the U.S. suicide rate is the highest it's been since WWII, and that religious adherence is fading in favor of an obsession with worldly culture and digital distractions. But past believers have endured similarly difficult times, he reminds readers, citing how the prophet Elijah served the northern kingdom of Israel during a period of profound state hostility and repression. Narrating how Elijah fought to prevent King Ahab and Jezebel from forcing Israel to worship pagan gods, Lucado extracts lessons on how readers can surmount challenges of their own by using periods of loneliness as opportunities to connect with God; leaning on prayer and scripture to "weather seasons of discouragement"; and being wary of earthly temptations. Some readers will be put off by the author's fearmongering about what he considers the ills of society, including divorce, homosexuality, sex outside of marriage, and digital culture, but devoted fans will appreciate his strident, energetic tone. It's an impassioned but often myopic guide to a changing world.
