About this book
Is there a view that’s true?
We all view the world through a certain lens. Depending on our upbringing, geography, experiences, and a whole host of other influences, we will see life a certain way.
We all care about truth, justice, love, good and evil. Our understanding of these values is shaped by what we hear and are taught. Yet, unbeknownst to many in society, the fruit that culture claims, is rooted in Christianity.
By walking through historical overviews and sharing real–life stories, Sharon James teaches readers how to read culture through the lens of scripture. This introduction will equip the next generation with the wisdom needed to think through some of the most divisive cultural issues of our day.
