"A timely call for the integration of confessional beliefs and
values with actions makes this book well worth the read."--Ewen
Butler, Religious Studies Review, December 2010
"By explaining and exposing 'isms' like consumerism, relativism,
nationalism, and post-modern tribalism, Wilkens and Sanford deftly
demonstrate how we too often live according to 'cultural stories'
that compete with the gospel."--Trevin Wax, Christianity Today, May
2010
"Wilkens and Sanford briefly yet comprehensively explain each
worldview's core beliefs. These chapters can be useful as
discussion starters about core biblical beliefs and as a tool to
learn to critique cultural values."--Rachael Eggebeen, Youth Worker
Journal, (www.youthworkerjournal.com), January/February 2010
