I read this for an assignment. Taught me how to look at secular culture in a better way than just disgust.

The fact that this book included a theological cultural analysis on the Japanese toilet with such beautiful clarity is beyond me ha! 5 stars from me!
The book also has other great cultural topics that it explores and is packed with useful tools for Christians when it comes to engaging with the culture. I would highly recommend it!

Strange lays out an argument for why we should be aware of what culture is consuming to more effectively evangelize. I enjoyed the discussion of evaluating what we're consuming and why, but felt a bit lost when the author discussed UK specific situations. All in all, a valuable and thought provoking read!

Actually such an interesting read. After a slow start really goes deep into how we should discern what we as christians should watch and why maybe not. But always stays within the context of us as cultural beinhs. Really liked it and cleared things up / gave definitions to thoughts I had for a while now.

I really enjoyed this book. I discovered it by accident, not knowing anything about the author or content. I found it a helpful guide to understand the themes and value of my cultural context. It helped me make sense of the culture around me. It also provided a helpful context in how to engage with culture and evangelize through it.
