Every day; major headlines tell the story of how Christianity is attempting to influence American culture and politics. But statistics show that young Americans are disenchanted with a faith that has become culturally antagonistic and too closely aligned with partisan politics. In this personal yet practical work; Jonathan Merritt uncovers the changing face of American Christianity by uniquely examining the coming of age of a new generation of Christians.Jonathan Merritt illuminates the spiritual ethos of this new generation of believers who engage the world with Christ-centered faith but an un-polarized political perspective. Through personal stories and biblically rooted commentary this scion of a leading evangelical family takes a close; thoughtful look at the changing religious and political environment; addressing such divisive issues as abortion; gay marriage; environmental use and care; race; war; poverty; and the imbalance of world wealth. Through Scripture; the examples of Jesus; and personal defining faith experiences; he distills the essential truths at the core of a Christian faith that is now just coming of age.

S.By Kindle CustomerPete Early is one of the most informed and respected authors on Soviet/Russian intelligence and American spies. In this book he had unprecedented access to possibly the most important Russian defector in decades who gives candid insight into the inner workings of the KGB/SVR.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great read!By Scott A. WimmerI am only about 1/3 into it; but it has been fascinating. Highly recommended! Then again; I "spent some time" in the Soviet Union (as a tourist; of course); so I have special interest in this subject.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Spy or history book?By ArisI would have given a better rating if it wasn't the too many chapters on the political history of the USSR and the KGB. Those belong more on a dedicated history; than a true spy book. Nevertheless; it is well written and Sergei Tetryakov's own story is very interesting
