Synopsis

John Adams and Thomas Jefferson lived in serious times. And, because they chose to live serious lives they changed the course of history. Serious times met with serious lives. This is the means by which the kingdom of God is advanced and the life of a Christ follower is measured.

* How can you make a difference in the world today?

* How can you be an influence for Christ? * How can you live a life that matters? There is a great movement of God that has been set loose in the world. And in this book James Emery White explores what it means to be in the front lines of what God is doing. It's about action. But more than that it's about character and our connectedness with God. Read Serious Times to discover how you can influence the course of history in your own day.

About this title

From the Author:

Q: What is your hope for the readers of "Serious Times"?

JAMES EMERY WHITE: "In the ancient world, the influence of Christians acting as salt and light brought a stop to infanticide, ended slavery, liberated women, and created hospitals, orphanages and schools. During the medieval era, Christianity kept classical culture alive through the copying of manuscripts, the building of libraries, and the invention of colleges and universities. In the modern era, Christians led the way in the development of science, political and economic freedom, and provided what is arguably the greatest source of inspiration for art, literature and music. What will Christians do in our day? The great danger is nothing. The purpose of understanding the serious nature of our time is to then undertake a serious life; a life that will not only understand the times but then be moved to act within them for Christ."
