Culture Wise Thinking Rightly About Seven Societal Wrongs

by Jack Graham

Society has its own answers to questions about creation, capital punishment, same-sex relationships, drinking, and more. So it can often be hard to wisely express your faith and beliefs in our culture. Culture Thinking about Seven Societal Wrongs will help you handle seven prickly issues prevalent in our society with grace and compassion. Dr. Jack Graham is the pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church, one of the largest churches in the country with more than 32,000 members and three campuses in the Dallas area.

There is only one good thing about this book: it does not take long to read. I found it a couple of years ago in our break area one night when leaving work. It was obviously left in the spot it was deliberately and clearly did not belong in the workplace, so I rescued my coworkers by taking it. I set it aside and refound it today when preparing for my office to be painted and modified (another story.) The author is the pastor of one of the largest tax-free burdens on municipal support services in the country...one to the mega-churches taking up prime real estate and paying nothing for it.

I used a red pencil to make notes and comments - and I bled more red on it than my master's advisor did on my research paper and even more than I did on a couple Robert Anton Wilson's creative nonfictions. And I used the word "idiot" more than I did for Wilson by far. This one quote is enough to tell you why this is the dumbest book I've read in many years: "Secularized living yields a twisted morality, too. Immorality winds up giving way to amorality, a place where degradation and promiscuity proudly reign."

See? Idiot. And no, I'm not being negative - that's an educated assessment (I have no intention of refuting his arguments here...waste of your time and mine.) I will say his writing and selective citations demonstrate the doctor of divinity does not know the history of his one and only counterargument source.

I watch Jack Graham on tv and he consistently delivers a Godly message. I found this book to be spiritually uplifting and reaffirming. It was a good balance between reminders, warnings and great love. He always writes wonderful books, in my opinion.
