By: Stephen McAlpine - Western culture has changed dramatically over the past few decades, and it shows no sign of stopping. For many, this unpredictable, dynamic environment creates fear and anxiety. The book Futureproof addresses the question, ‘How are followers of Jesus to interact in a society marked by an anxiety epidemic and rapidly moving away from a biblical worldview?” This exceptionally relevant book addresses the key questions for all of us—in particular, what is our role as lights in an increasingly dark world, and what is the role of the church? How can believers bring the hope and peace of the Gospel message to those who perceive it to be offensive?
