It's a fascinating mixed bunch of thoughts from this inspiring author who always seems to see beyond straightforward evangelical jargon and trite understanding of Christianity, to ask deeper questions and probe people's underlying beliefs. The book is in three main sections, entitled The Arts, The Message, and Our Bent World. The first section includes interviews with Francis Schaeffer, the second takes an honest look at the problems facing the Christian writer and the dangers of the American Christian TV scene.
Then the final section explores issues that would daunt many a modern evangelical. Lessons learned from concentration camps; a new way of looking at the eternal problem of pain; finally a couple of chapters discussing the lifestyle and beliefs of a man who wasn't even a Christian: Mahatma Ghandi. Yancey suggests that people like Ghandi should offer a challange to our materialistic success-orientated Western culture.
All in all, an interesting book. Not one to read at one sitting as it covers many topics, and not as powerful as some of Yancey's later books, but I'm still glad to have it in my collection. Recommended to any Christians wanting to think outside the box. ( )
