If, like me, Stephen McAlpine’s previous book caused you to ask, “Where do we go from here?”, here is the answer. It has the same clarity and punchy impact as before. A really good and profoundly helpful book. -- Alistair Begg (Bible Teacher, Truth For Life; Previous Senior Pastor, Parkside Church, Cleveland; Author, Pray Big and The Christian Manifesto)
Are you pessimistic about the future of the church? Then Futureproof is for you. Not that Steve McAlpine is unrealistic about the challenges before us. But he gives us reasons for hope and ideas for action. Eschewing superficial or trendy solutions, Futureproof digs deep into Scripture to prepare us to live well in our changing context and offer true hope in an anxious world. -- Tim Chester (Crosslands Training; Author of Enjoying God)
A positive, encouraging read for anyone wondering whether Christianity has a hope of surviving the decades to come. (Spoiler: it does, and has a great hope to offer the culture, too.) -- Jennie Pollock (Writer and editor)
It’s often said that it’s far easier to expose the failings of our society (and the church) than it is to suggest healthy, realistic and, above all, manageable responses—but Steve has managed to do both beautifully. As well as continuing to reflect on the bewildering changes going on in our world, this book offers a richly biblical, sane and thoughtful way forward. Read this book, be encouraged and throw yourself into God’s great project to offer hope to a hopeless world! -- Gary Millar (Principal, Queensland Theological College, Australia; author of Saving Eutychus)
I invariably find Stephen McAlpine a trusted and insightful commentator on current events, and especially on the relationship between the church and the culture around it. In Futureproof he sets his sights on future events and offers commentary that is just as helpful and just as perceptive— commentary that will help the church live well in this day and prepare itself for days soon to come. -- Tim Challies (Blogger; author, Seasons of Sorrow)
This is so helpful for all sorts of Christians to read. Steve manages to combine nuanced gracious engagement with Western values, alongside specific practical suggestions. He offers shrewd cultural comments and observations but they are always driven by biblical priorities. -- Matt Fuller (Senior Pastor of Christchurch Mayfair, London; author of Perfect Sinners)
