The church used to be recognized as a force for good, but this is changing rapidly. Christians are now often seen as the bad guys, losing both respect and influence.
In our post-Christian culture, how do we offer the gospel to those around us who view it as not only wrong but possibly dangerous? And how do we ensure that the secular worldview does not entice us away with its constant barrage, online and elsewhere, of messages about self-determinism?
Author Stephen McAlpine offers an analysis of how our culture ended up this way and explains key points of tension between biblical Christianity and secular culture.
He encourages Christians not to be ashamed of the gospel as it is more liberating, fulfilling and joyful than anything the world has to offer. He also offers strategies for coping in this world, with its opposing values, and for reaching out to others wisely with the truth.

(Review written for 'Being the Bad Guys (ebook)')
Worth reading just for the first two chapters. The premise of the book is spot on for Christians in the West. The 'solutions' are a bit generic. The real strength of the book is helping us realise where we are.
To say I enjoyed this book is not really accurate. I appreciated it and was daunted challenged and the ultimately encouraged by it. Daunted by the fairly bleak outlook on non-believing society; challenged by the need to respond more to the call of the gospel, but ultimately encouraged by the thought from the Bible that greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.
A book that is almost surely a must read for all evangelically based Christians.
This is an excellent book. It addresses the culture wars we find ourselves in and then looks at how a follower of Jesus should respond. From my perspective the book asks the right questions and points in the right direction for answers. There are questions posed that are (unfortunately) not answered, and some that might even be answered incorrectly. But the focus and emphasis are good, positive and (I believe) correct. This is a book that I would like anyone who claims to follow Jesus to read.
