  I'm Not Great - (Thank God)

  Mistakes and blunders checker our past, like a used dart board. Most of us prefer to focus on the future, what we can control. It’s why our windshields are larger than our rearview mirrors. We figure that if we can convince ourselves and others that we’re honestly and consistently striving to be better, richer, more holy, or more successful (at least, more than our friends), then we'll have a life worth living. 
  In a series of thoughtful reflections, humorous stories, and current research on Western culture’s obsession with the “self,” C.B. Lund shares that the answer lies not in self-realization, but in self-forgetfulness. “I’m Not Great” points to the life-giving truth that we were never intended to be the main character of our own stories. Rather than playing the David that defeats the Goliath or the suave super-hero that swoops in to save the day, we would do our present anxieties and crushing expectations for ourselves and others a huge service if we realized we were more like Shrub #2 on stage left, just thankful to be included in the story at all. 
  Whether a person identifies as a believer in God often makes little difference. Surveys show that anxiety levels, mental health disease, divorce rates, and isolation have impacted believers and unbelievers alike. In the West’s individualistic society, both groups intend to fix these problems in surprisingly similar ways. Society says to find fulfillment, definition, and affirmation in your job, success, monetary worth, humanitarian accomplishments, relationship status, or whatever you choose as your success metric. And while a religious believer is also prone to these things, all too often the church itself encourages its congregants and members to focus on increased self-control, self-discipline, social or biblical justice, and “being better for Jesus”. It’s not until we realize that we’re not really all that awesome that we can be pointed toward a life of hope, freedom, and joy.

  Your Life Is a Story - GK...

  Brady Stiller

  What is the meaning of life? Do we create meaning or find it? Every person, implicitly or explicitly, has a conception of the meaning of life, which is intimately connected to our view of human freedom. How we answer these questions determines the course of our lives and our fulfillment.  Drawing from the great writer G.K. Chesterton, Brady Stiller identifies four dominant philosophical positions on meaning in our day—determinism, existentialism, skepticism, and nihilism—and evaluates their answers to these ultimate questions, and how they fall short. Evoking Chesterton’s notion of paradox, Stiller proposes a philosophical position more true to reality—namely, that the meaning of life is both objective and subjective at the same time. By viewing life as a story with both determined and undetermined aspects, we are equipped to coauthor our stories with the divine author, discovering our role in the grand drama of creation.

  You Shall Be as Gods - Pagans...

  Our country doesn't have a partisan problem, a political problem, a social problem, or an economic problem. We have a spiritual problem. 
   
   
   
  As Christianity has been pushed aside, the Progressive Left has developed a new pagan religion. But the radical roots of the new secular religion are ancient. We've seen it all before. In You Shall Be as Gods, Erick Erickson traces the religion's roots from Paganism and Gnosticism through the Age of Enlightenment all the way into the Postmodernism of the twenty-first century. At the heart of the ancient religion is a self-centered culture. 
   
   
   
  The Christian church today has been weakened by compromising with the neo-pagan religion, leaving the faithful ill-prepared to counter the claims of society's present-day doctrine. Yet there remains a significant remnant in America that refuses to bow to the rising belief system. 
   
   
   
  Just as in Rome and countless societies throughout history, the religions present two opposing stories of reality which necessitates conflict. In an era where the "Christian thing" to do seems to be to go along and get along, Erickson makes clear that the two cultures cannot peacefully coexist and calls the listener to speak the truth in love.
