When working as a professor at Christian colleges in the 1990s and 2000s, he told his students the same thing: their faith was for every area of life and living, not just Sundays or chapel services. Both groups uneasily wondered if their faith could pervade every behavioral and intellectual dimension of their life. Perhaps influences in their lives or their own experiences suggested to them that it couldn't, but when Stetson stressed to them that their faith equipped them with the strength and insight they would need for all of life--every season, every experience, every endeavor--they took heart, they were encouraged, and they were strengthened. This compelling, eclectic book will have the same effect on all readers, irrespective of their stage in the Christian life. Part devotional, part apologetic, part exhortation, and part social criticism, this readable work urges readers to fully take hold of a rigorous Christian worldview in every topic it so thoughtfully engages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrad Stetson (PhD, University of Southern California), writes on a wide range of social and religious topics.
