The world is facing considerable turmoil and challenge. Ebola, a disease in West Africa has affected eight nations, with the major impact areas in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. The United States has had to cope with a different type of disease - demonstrations, riots, looting and violence in several cities. A description of the cause and effect of these times is addressed in Isaiah 59:13-15 regarding the behavior of people who are sliding toward and into the cultural maze, "Transgressing and denying the Lord, and turning away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving in and uttering from the heart lying words. Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far away; for truth has stumbled in the streets, and uprightness cannot enter. Yes, truth is lacking; and he who turns aside from evil makes himself a prey. Now the Lord saw, and it was displeasing in His sight that there was no justice.” The church has this moment to be the light it was intended to be. It must shine into and penetrate the darkness so that people will be led away from and out of the cultural maze. This book will provide you with challenging insights and encouragement to be a light shining into and piercing the darkness of your day.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

I, the third of three children, was born in Brooklyn, New York and lived the first 20 years of my life there. After High School, I was very content to drive a truck for an Auto Supply Dealer. All was going well until there was a preventable accident that caused some damage to the truck and a parked vehicle. The Employer became incensed and upset. It was at this point that I allowed that he could drive his own truck if he thought he could do any better. I gathered my things and final salary and became “gainfully” unemployed. It was at this time that the Founder of Lakeside Bible Conference spoke at the church I was attending. Following the service, I volunteered to be a worker at Lakeside Bible Conference in Carmel, New York. During the summer of 1954, I met several people who were already in a Bible College or preparing to enter their Freshman year. I stayed in a two-man cabin with a man who was President of the Student Body at Columbia Bible College (now Columbia International University) in Columbia, South Carolina. We had been assigned to work with teenagers from New York City. However, during the course of the summer, he would frequently ask me whether or not I had ever thought about what God’s will and plan for my life might be. His question “bugged” me and I did my best to avoid him and the question. His persistence planted a seed that became watered by Columbia Bible College (now Columbia International University) in Columbia, SC. At the end of the summer, some friends who had pre-enrolled at Columbia Bible College invited me to ride to South Carolina with them and then to hitch-hike back home. I had no other plans and decided to go with them. I was invited to enroll for the Freshmen Class by some staff members of the college. I did so and that led to my also going on to attend Seminary and to begin an active ministry that is now in its fifty-first year. I had not given much thought to publishing a book but a young man from a former Pastorate is now the owner of Theocentric Publishing Group. It has been with his encouragement that I have written some books and had them published by Theocentric Publishing Group. Two of the more recent books published are: Taking A Serious God Seriously, and Amid The Cultural Chaos. There are now two sequel books on the cultural chaos, Trending Toward Cultural Captivity and the newest volume is: Navigating The Cultural Maze. These and other titles are available through Theocentric Publishing Group or Amazon.
