Stop Taking Sides ebook

I love how this book models how to think by addressing complicated and pressing questions of theology, discipleship, and cultural engagement with thoughtfulness, openness, and a dedication to biblical truth. You will be challenged as you read, and come away encouraged and chastened. You’ll encounter issues that make you uncomfortable and won’t be let off easy with pat or myopic answers. You’ll be pulled time and again into the path of the Spirit speaking through Scripture. And you will be better for it.

This book is so needed today! Our age has been called the information age, but it could equally be called the outrage age, the anxiety age, the fear age, or the tribalism age. Pastor Mabry has served us well by helping us see the necessity of embracing clarity, argumentation, listening, and mystery, as we seek to avoid these problems and live with a renewed mind and for the good of neighbor, Christian unity, and the advancement of Jesus’ mission.

Here is startling insight on the perplexing problem of polarization within Western culture at large and Western Christianity in particular. Adam Mabry is a pastor and a rising public intellectual who has demonstrated the ability to help people find common ground while maintaining faithfulness to the high calling of obedience to Christ. Refreshingly original, this book deserves serious consideration.
