Book Review - World View by Marvin Olasky

ABOUT THE BOOK:

What would our lives be like if we reacted to our common culture with not just biblical facts, but also grace and compassion?

For more than 25 years, Marvin Olasky has offered this kind of viewpoint in his columns as the Editor-in-Chief of World Magazine, the leading news magazine written with a Christian perspective. In this collection of far-ranging columns, Olasky's commentary on world events and affairs, as well as his own personal interactions, encourages readers to respond with both grace and truth in every encounter.

A leading voice for standing for biblical truth in the public square, Olasky also believes Christians should incorporate the biblical virtues of humility, kindness, and mercy in all of life. His call for biblical values to include both truth and mercy makes his voice stand out in a world that often falsely divides those goals and settles for a poor imitation of the robust Christianity described in Scripture. These short and punchy columns offer readers a new way to consider challenges in today's world and shows them how to respond to any encounter biblically, but not hysterically, providing a wake-up call for the complacent, while also calming the frantic.

MY REVIEW:

I have always enjoyed Mr. Olasky's articles in World Magazine. He has insightful ideas and looks at everything through a Biblical lens.

This book is actually a compilation of articles he wrote between the years 1997 - 2016. I found it very interesting to see what he was writing about in these years. Some things are very different and yet some things never change.

Because this book is short "chapters" of articles, it's very easy to read a couple or read a lot. I enjoyed his writing style and the fact that he stands on the Word of God in his beliefs and his world view. Each article is thought provoking and quite interesting.

I enjoyed this book a lot and I give it 5 out of 5 stars.
