In this book Erwin Lutzer compares post-modernity to Babylon, challenging Christians to be Daniels in a world that pushes them to compromise.

Mr. Lutzer challenges his readers to live set apart lives for God, unbending to the culture. He uses the Israelites living in Babylon as an example, how God called them to separate themselves from what the rest of the culture was doing, chasing after idols.

Mr. Lutzer explores how we got to this point in America, and how we can prepare for the future. He looks at our culture, the media, our phones and electronic devices, as well as the government and how we as Christians should respond to the political turmoil.

I really liked how he explained his position on how we as Christians should respond to controversial issues, and there was a lot of good food for thought. Mr. Lutzer has really thought through many things, and rallies Christians to respond to their calling to be lights in the darkness, set apart, and uncompromising on God’s word.

My Review:


A lovely read that concisely answers 101 common questions about God and the Bible, with a pleasing layout and bound into a gift book format.

A lovely book to share and give as a gift to a new Christian or to someone who could use some cheer and comfort. It would also be perfect for reading with young children who have many questions that can be tricky to answer.

Each question is answered in about the length of a page, so of course it is impossible for every question to be answered in absolute thoroughness, but it does provide a great start in the right direction. The book serves it’s purpose well and I was pleased with how concisely many of the questions were handled, while pointing to scripture for authority.

Overall, it was a pleasant and enjoyable read, that skillfully skims through and answers tough questions. It would make a lovely gift for someone who is a new Christian. A very well done read for its intended audience.

Beautifully illustrated this is a well put together book that would be great to read with children before bed, and can be a great conversation starter.

The one thing that I noticed, was that the storytelling was kinda more like a “tell rather than show” style, which isn’t my favorite way of storytelling, so I felt it was a little more passive than I liked.  But I thought that they did a great job with putting together good stories and ways to describe things to young minds.

Overall, I felt this book would be best suited for young readers, or children who are still at an age for being read to, so perhaps ages 3-5. A great way to connect with children and show God’s greatness and his multiple roles in our lives.
