Dr. Jim Denison invites us to engage our current cultural moment with urgency and consequence. His road map involves intellectual ferocity, cultural relevance, and compassionate generosity. We are five minutes until midnight. Engage.
This book is a clarion call for Christians who want to make a difference in a culture that may no longer want to hear our voice. The Coming Tsunami covers immense ground, but I especially appreciate Jim's chapter on the necessary medical ethics questions we should be asking of our ’post-truth’ culture. If you want to learn how to live in this new world—but not be of this new world—read this book.
We are presently enduring a cultural tidal wave crashing in on all fronts. For many of us in higher education, we realize the impact cultural shifts will have before reaching the shores of society at large. Dr. Jim Denison has helped us on numerous occasions carefully navigate the stormy cultural waters of our day. This book is an outstanding resource that will strengthen your faith, provide timely wisdom, and reveal incredible biblical insight for the challenges we face as Christians today.
In my work with Christ-following CEOs around the country, I've heard their growing concern about the challenges of being a Christian leader in America. Our moral compass as a nation is changing its true north. What was once perceived as true, even a decade ago, is being challenged and a new radically different cultural journey is being plotted. That's one reason I'm grateful for Jim Denison's new book, one I know will help all Christ-following leaders understand and better prepare for their leadership journey ahead—one where secularism might just become the dominant religion of our day.
It is not an overstatement to say that Jim Denison writes with the voice of a prophet, the insights of a cultural apologist, and the heart of a pastor. In The Coming Tsunami, Dr. Denison warns us of the tidal waves of ideologies that have rapidly caused our society to devolve and stripped us of biblical values. However, far from leaving us in despair, Denison provides us with the life raft of hope to survive. The bad news is that the tsunami is upon us; the good news is that it is possible for us to have gospel influence even in today’s torrent of lies and deception if we stand on God’s unwavering truth and his unending grace.
