Relevant for Our Times

Stephen Arterburn, leading author, has written a book that is relevant for our times.  So many are living with past regrets and cannot move away from the past that is keeping them from living the life that God wants for them.  This book offers so much more than just an unloading by the author of his/her past mistakes.  It does offer examples, from the author, that show us that he, like many, has suffered from past mistakes.  However, Mr. Arterburn offers, along with his examples, practical suggestions for moving past regrets to living a full life, the one that God intended for each of us.

This book is a must-read, especially for those who work with those who may be suffering from these kinds of issues.

Almost forty years old, and strangely, not reviewed yet, this book is as relevant as ever. From one who has spent over thirty years in the IT industry, internationally, Ellul's description of the technical system we live in is highly relevant. His conclusion, a soliloquy on Man in the Technological System, neatly describes the nature of our thinking, the very fishbowl of life we cannot envisage living outside of.

Very timely and useful, if only they (the people who are reading it) make use of it NOW.  God Bless you all.  Faith and prayer are desperately needed right now.

Mackin's book provides a concise assemblage of historical events which contribute to the current state of economic affairs. It seems to be not meant to be political, but rather points out the urgent need for a new set of priorities so as to stabilize and improve the American economy. Mackin's view is valuable when determining what each of us can do to right the national ship. I'm recommending the book to my friends who care about the country, and aren't too "busy" to ignore their opportunity/responsibility.

Good story, still relevant to today and what may come in the future. It will get you thinking about how much we still have yet to accomplish.

As relevant today as it was when it was written. Social issues are just as prevalent today in some parts of the country as the were in 1959 as well
the threat of terrorism. The more things change the more they stay the same. Exellent  book.

This is a critical book for our times.  If you believe that we are a point in which five billion of us will soon disappear, or, on if the contrary you believe that we might find a way to relate to each other in ways that will propitiate everyone's well being, then this is the book for you.

This is essential reading for the time we are in today. We need to learn from history, and then act accordingly. This short but insightful book is a basic primer for personal and group action in America in the era of Trump, Bannon and reactionary politics. The spectre of tyranny--of fascism, totalitarianism, oligarchy and the destruction of our democracy--is all too real to ignore or say, "it can't happen here." It can. It has elsewhere. We must be prepared to act.

This book is small enough to read in one sitting. Its chapters are short and can also be digested slowly, one at a time. This is one book I will read over and over.

Brought this when it came out. Never did it stop being a relevant piece of literature. Our times will hold it's words and images to be of value.

Now more than ever, this book speaks to the most significant issue of our time.  Scott assembles a strong collection of essays on the history and ongoing legacy of racial injustice in the United States.  A must read for anyone--high school through professional level--interested in an intelligent consideration from a variety of academic disciplines of how we have arrived here at the beginning of the 21st century and what needs to be done should we wish to adequately address our nation's wounds.

After the first few pages, it was hard to put this down.  It is so relevant to what is going on today
