Author: Platt, David

Condition: New

Counter Culture Bible Study Book includes six sessions with DVD teaching outlines, small group discussion guides, applicable Scripture, individual study, and practical application. The Bible is clear on a number of issues:Who God is-the holy, just, and gracious Creator of the universeWho we are-men and women created in the image of God for our good and for God's gloryWho Christ is and what He has done-His life, death, and resurrectionWhat it means to follow Christ-to die to ourselves and to live in HimWhy this matters for eternity-heaven and hell are at stake in our response to the gospelSo how do these truths affect how we respond to the social issues of our day-realities such as poverty, slavery, abortion, sexual immorality, the degradation of marriage, the neglect of orphans and widows, racism, and persecution?David Platt believes that the truths of the gospel should compel us to a contrite, compassionate, and courageous personal response to social issues in the culture. Using biblical foundations, practical illustrations, and personal exhortations, this study is a pointed yet winsome call for readers to faithfully follow Christ in countercultural ways. There will be a cost. There will be a reward.
