Synopsis

In the final book of this Christian thought leader, Bob Briner takes a look at the history of Christian participation with American popular culture over the past fifty years. Briner concludes Christians have failed to be salt and light. This posthumous book is Briner's apology of sorts to a culture that desperately needs what Jesus has to offer but has had to endure a string of embarrassing behaviors in the name of Christ by those that wear the name Christian.

About this title

About the Author:

Bob Briner was an Emmy Award-winning television producer and long-time president of Pro-Serv Television. His portfolio included articles featured in The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, and other major publications. He was the co-host of the nationally syndicated radio show "Roaring Lambs" as well as the author of eight books. A resident of Greenville, Illinois, Briner passed away during the summer of 1999.

Review:

While Briner misses out on historical nuance, and commits the sin of overgeneralization often, he is at least mostly right on most everything he talks about. We can thank him for inspiring us to do better, to not settle for our comfort zones. And we can enjoy someone giving voice to the embarrassments and anger we feel when the church goes astray. But I am afraid we will have to wait for another prophet to take us across the River Jordan and move more fully into the heart of America's cultural mild and honey.
