Synopsis

What Is This Book?

Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?

You know when someone says something that's just wrong, but it's not until the moment has passed that you've put together the fitting response? Sometimes there isn't the opportunity in the moment; sometimes the exact reply doesn't come to mind. This book is what the author wishes he could reply when people make erred statements or ask questions that touch on current issues and faith. Not "zingers" and "gotchas", but thoughtful, concise, biblical, provocative responses crafted to prompt further thought.

These apologetic one-two punches are directed at the wild swings of our pugilistic culture which increasingly rages against all sanity... and ultimately against the God that gave it breath and legs on which to stand.

57 common comments and questions apologetically addressed include these:

* People are basically good. It's imposed traditional social constructs that mess them up.

* Unlimited gender types, gender neutral, gender fluid, intersex-they're all valid. You're homophobic. You're transphobic.

* Stop thinking binary! Everything is multi-faceted. There are no absolutes.

* Dystopias are just fiction, as are utopias.

* Every generation thinks its era was the golden one. That's just nostalgia. They're all basically the same.

* You have to love yourself before you can love others.

* I'm not like most people. I'm different, kind of odd. I do my own thing.

* The church should be seeker friendly, welcoming and accepting of all kinds of people.

* Most people need therapy at some time. Modern culture creates so much stress.

* I believe that the Universe knows, controls, and determines all.

This book reflects the author's personal attempt to stand firm on the straight path - to keep his feet and direction amidst the floundering culture in which he lives. If others reading this are aided in their stand against the empty insanity, it's considered a victory.
