Written by award-winning radio personality Dick Staub, this compelling book is filled with anecdotes from the "Star Wars" films that serve as a launching pad into rediscovering authentic Christianity. "Christian Wisdom of the Jedi Masters" also contains quotes from revered "Jedi Christians" such as Thomas Merton, Teresa of Avila, the Apostle Paul, G. K. Chesterton, and other theologians, mystics, writers, and philosophers. The author sheds new light on the struggles and challenges of living faithfully in postmodern life and offers a reintroduction to what C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien called the "one true myth," Christianity.
Praise for The Culturally Savory Christian "A provocative indictment of and suggestions for revitalizing
both popular culture and the fallow state of Christianity in this
country . . . " "Some Christians bemoan culture's vulgarities and believe that
deepening ?faith requires us to withdraw into cocoons of Christian
isolation and churn out happy-feely Christian art, but Staub warns
us that this is not the way of Christ. Instead, he explains that
like C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Dostoevsky, 'Christian
artists are not bound to create religious art, but they understand
that their exploration of everyday human occurrences is guided by
their walk in faith.' The Culturally Savvy Christian encourages us
to peer through the pop culture fog, dismiss the fluff, and reach
for the life-changing, the thoughtful, and the meaningful." "Dick Staub has watched from a unique vantage point as our
culture--not least our Christian culture--has been sliding into
more and more of a muddle and a mess. Now he offers a sharp,
many-sided analysis of where we've allowed ourselves to get to--and
a bracing, fresh prescription for how Christians can and should be
leading the way through and out into a wiser, richer mode of being
human. This is an urgent book for our times--and for our
health."
