If you were asked to predict what the next thirty years will look like, could you guess? How about even the next five years? We’re living at a time of accelerated change and increased levels of anxiety and in a culture that no longer embraces biblical Christianity. So what are believers to do? Futureproof: How to Live for Jesus in a Culture That Keeps Changing offers a roadmap for how to be a source of light and hope in an increasingly dark and anxious world.
This book is newly released and offers a current, relevant assessment of the issues fueling the anxiety epidemic our culture is experiencing, particularly among young people. Why is it happening, and what is perpetuating it? Futureproof takes a fascinating look at the widespread impact of a cultural theology that suggests the answers to life’s questions and challenges can all be found within us. When you read the book, you’ll explore what happens when people discover that there are no answers within them and life’s challenges are far too great to face on their own.
Futureproof explains that the Gospel message of hope is the only antidote for fear, uncertainty, and self-reliance. Both the church and individual believers have the opportunity to share the Gospel’s good news. You’ll be encouraged not to withdraw from dialogue with those around you but instead to joyfully share the comforting truth that Jesus is our “help in time of need.” This insightful book will also repeatedly remind you that our future is not at risk, because God is in control, and our King is on the throne! The future of Christ’s church is failproof; it will prevail as Jesus Himself claimed, and regardless of how things may appear, the worst of the worst cannot stop His inevitable triumph.
When statistics tempt you to despair, here’s a book that’ll encourage and motivate you to be a light of Gospel hope in an anxious world. Request your copy today.
“If, like me, Stephen McAlpine’s previous book [Being the Bad Guys] caused you to ask, ‘Where do we go from here?’ here is the answer. It has the same clarity and punchy impact as before. A really good and profoundly helpful book.” —Alistair Begg
