ECPA 2017 Christian Book Award Finalist The church in the West is
at a critical moment. While the gospel is exploding throughout the
global south, Western civilization faces militant assaults from
aggressive secularism and radical Islam. Will the church resist the
seductive shaping power of advanced modernity? More than ever,
Christians must resist the negative cultural forces of our day with
fortitude and winsomeness. What is needed is followers of Christ
who are willing to face reality without flinching and respond with
a faithfulness that is unwavering. Os Guinness describes these
Christians as "impossible people," those who have "hearts that can
melt with compassion, but with faces like flint and backbones of
steel who are unmanipulable, unbribable, undeterrable and
unclubbable, without ever losing the gentleness, the mercy, the
grace and the compassion of our Lord." Few accounts of the
challenge of today are more realistic, and few calls to Christian
courage are more timely, resolute-and hopeful. Guinness argues that
we must engage secularism and atheism in new ways, confronting
competing ideas with discernment and fresh articulation of the
faith. Christians are called to be impossible people, full of
courage and mercy in challenging times.
