Summary

The tipping point has been reached . . . What now?

Marriage: redefined. Religious freedoms: eroding. The church: marginalized. How should we respond?

It’s time to prepare—prepare for a future none of us could have imagined just a few years ago. Paul Nyquist will help you understand and live faithfully in this new America, which is declining further and further into secularism and immorality, and so growing increasingly hostile toward Christianity. You’ll find answers to questions like:

• Are we really "persecuted"?
• What does the Bible say about persecution?
• How should I then live?

Prepare: Living Your Faith in an Increasingly Hostile Culture will set forth a biblical, theological, and practical approach to navigating the challenging days ahead and a reason for hope and optimism: the power of the gospel and the possibility of societal transformation.
