The Christian Manifesto
PatriotandLiberty ^ | 9/23 | Tim Challies

“We are not called to be like the world,” he insists, “and the world does not need us to be like the world.”

We have something better to say because we have someone better to follow. That means the call of Christ to you and me is both greatly exciting and deeply challenging. The call is not to be comfortable but to be Christ-like—to discover the surprising means of experiencing real blessing, and in doing so to point others the way to it too.

"A Christian Manifesto" by Francis Schaffer was life-changing for me. "Francis Schaeffer shows why morality and freedom have crumbled in our society. He calls for a massive movement-in government, law, and all of life-to reestablish our Judeo-Christian foundation and turn the tide of moral decadence and loss of freedom.

The Christian Manifesto</img><p>
A Christian Manifesto is literally a call for Christians to change the course of history-by returning to biblical Truth and by allowing Christ to be Lord in all of life.

This is not the one by Alistair Begg. It predates Begg. It would not surprise me if the books were similar. I also highly recommend "How Shall We Then Live?" also by Shaeffer.

Thanks for this review as well. I like Alistair Begg. He’s on the radio daily here.
