It carries a profound message needed by the church today and by individual Christians. The central theme is that faith in Jesus Christ is more than a private relationship with God; it is a way of seeing, understanding and changing the world. Christian faith brings with it basic ideas and beliefs that are the answers and counters to the world's philosophies.Christians often feel a loss of confidence in the face of secular philosophy as expressed in the culture of our age. The claims of scientists, New Age beliefs, shifting morality and so on can confuse.

He offers the challenge - How Now Shall We Live?This is a message for the church in the new millennium. Change in the world and in culture will not be achieved chiefly through political or social means, but by individual Christians knowing their faith and daring to be agents of God's grace, and making a difference.
