Jollyblogger Reviews Rethinking Worldview

David Wayne has posted a very kind review of Rethinking Worldview at Jollyblogger. Here's his conclusion:

"If you've read the others, you can still profit from this book as he covers valuable new ground and packages some of the familiar in new ways. He is very well read, pulling illustrations from daily life, to movies, to great literature and beyond. I'm frankly amazed at how such a young man (well, he looks young to me) has such a breadth of reading. This book can be profitably read by college students and up. Atlhough it would be a reach for some high schoolers I still wouldn't hesitate to give it to smarter, older high schoolers as an introduction to some higher level reading."
For the record, I'm thirty-seven going on seventy. Thanks for taking the time to read and review the book, David!

Book Description

  • Everybody has a worldview, a perspective on life, and sometimes we're forced to re-think. The world can surprise and overwhelm us, and when that happens, it helps to know what's really important in life. Rethinking Worldview explores some essential questions from a Christian perspective, starting with what "worldviews" really are, how they are formed and how they change. It's a chronicle of one man's intellectual journey, written to encourage fellow travelers along the way.
