Basic Summary:
Counter culture is a Christian book calling for radical change in the life of the followers of Christ. It covers (controversial) topics like homosexuality, abortion, and divorce; individually viewing these topics from a Biblical perspective. In-Depth Summary: Ask a group of Christians what they think about poverty, sex trafficking, or the orphan crisis, and you'll probably get a pretty quick response. But ask that same group about gay marriage or abortion, and you'll most likely be faced with a lot of nervous hesitancy or fuzzy answers. In this day when social issues are creating clear dividing lines in society, moral and political neutrality is not an option for those who believe the gospel. It's simply not enough to focus on only those issues that are most comfortable--and least costly--to us. Join David Platt as he invites us to fix our gaze on the holiness, goodness, love, truth, justice, authority, and mercy of God revealed in the gospel and to live with conviction, courage, and compassion in the midst of a culture that is drifting further from the truth every day. My Review: It's very well written, and definitely changed my opinion about quite a few topics, and opened my eyes about social issues around the world. I personally loved it. It just took me a while to read. Each chapter is packed with information that is strung together quite neatly with personal stories from the author, however, I did find myself falling asleep a few times. In all honesty, I think it's great, but best digested a little bit at a time, so you don't get overwhelmed.
