1: Great exposition on social issues from a Christian Perspective
Charles Colsen is one of the better analytical and thought provoking commentators on cultural issues from a Christian perspective. This book is very readable but gives deep insights into how Christians can live out a biblical worldview in modern times.

2: Who Will Read It?
This excellent book has over 500 pages - over 600 pages including the Study Guide. If it could somehow be condensed to under 300 pages I think more people would be apt to read it.

3: A Great Worldview Primer for Discipleship
As my title suggests, Colson's book would be a great worldview primer for discipleship purposes. In a day and age where people believe that creation is an accident and God is a non-issue, we have to begin by demonstrating that it is more logical to look to a Creator than to presume that all of creation is a coincidence, what Colson called pre-evangelism.
To take it a step further, many people in the church don't even have a Biblical worldview. This book equips you to begin spiritual formation of one's worldview -- and will help alter your own as well.
Having Nancy Pearcey on board for this book is a God-send. Colson's past work has had a tendency to be rather dry and laborious. Pearcey's contribution is a noticeable difference as the book flows and reads very well. Every section is broken up into smaller sections that are typically no more than a few pages, which makes it easy to set goals and get through this book -- don't let it's size discourage you!
While I sometimes felt Colson was far too staunchly evangelical, I'm glad I read it and recommend it for anyone struggling to define or help others realize a proper Christian worldview.

4: Excellent inspiration for all
What an excellent and well-argued book. If only everyone, whether Christian or not, would read and consider this book how much better our society would be. The values expressed here far surpass what any governmental program or programs could ever hope to achieve. Well worth taking the time to read thoughtfully and ACT ON.

5: An excellent resource
This book is a must for anyone seeking a clear perspective on the worldview multiplicities that have become the norm in American culture. Well written and researched (a Colson trademark), it is full of powerful illustrations as well as ordered arguments for the enduring truth of the Judeo-Christian worldview.
