How Now Shall We Live?

by Charles Colson and Nancy Pearcey

Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.

Described by Colson as “the most important work of his career,” this book serves well for a broad market as a primer on worldviews. Using anecdotes and personal experiences, the authors draw on real life to demonstrate why world views matter. Writing for a Christian audience, they cover the basics questions within the context of “creation, the fall, redemption, and restoration.” For example, questions about the origin of life come under “creation,” and questions about suffering and evil come under “the fall.” The chapters on “restoration” offer optimistic strategies that work toward reinstating a dominant Christian worldview. The book ends with a number of chapters about how a Christian worldview should translate into life actions.

The book draws heavily upon current events in contrast to Schaeffer’s How Should we Then Live?, which draws heavily upon history. Although it is a lengthy book at 574 pages (almost 100 are endnotes and index!), it is fairly easy to ready. Teens should have no problem with it.
