Total Truth. A burden and a gift.

With the end of summer comes the dread of almost every procrastinating young adult. Finishing summer homework. For my junior year, I am taking AP Language and Composition. Basically How to Write Good class. We are required to read "Total Truth." A book that I've never heard of before this summer. Yet, now I've wondered why I haven't stumbled upon this little book. Though the opening chapters are brutal to read with eloquently written and illustrations that almost reach on par with John Piper's "God is the Gospel" (INSIDE JOKE WITH GUYS D-GROUP), if one keeps on truckin, the book is a little delight to read. It questions whether "Christianity have a legitimate role to play in the public realm of politics, business, law, and education?" Is God even a part of public discussions anymore? The author dives into these questions. In this day in age of postmodernism and relativism and "Oh, everyone's views are right, it doesn't matter, we're all headed in the same direction-ism," this book was a delight to read and I would recommend it wholeheartedly if you want to build a Christian worldview in everything and have Christianity become Total in your life.

Haha. It's good.
