Assumptions that affect our lives

Excellent! Very well written. Powerful read. It will adjust your worldview, it did mine.

Assumptions That Affect Our Lives

My husband and I as well as 22 people from our church all read this book and study workbook that accompanied this title. We had a 10 week workshop and discussion session examining the content thoroughly. Everyone enjoyed these workshops immmensly. We all found that the book contained important facts that helped us understand our own world view and how others world views are shaped. I would highly recommend all of these materials, the book, workbook and study as would all of those who shared this workshop. We have purchased several copies for friends and family members and it has helped generate great discussions and sharing. Christian Overman is a gifted presenter of the facts surrounding this topic and we hope to enjoy more of what he writes on world views and a Christian world view in particular. We look forward to "Gods Pleasure at Work," coming in March 2009.

This Book is a Must Buy!

"Assumptions that Affect our Lives" is a must read for any Christian who wants to be in the know about world view issues. Too often, Christians have a knee-jerk reaction to the issues of our day and fail to think through our world view and foundational beliefs. Dr. Overman has done a great service to the Christian church by helping us to think in a biblical manner. To anyone who wants to have a consistent, biblical world view, this book is an excellent place to start. As a Christian apologist with twenty years experience in defending the faith, I cannot recommend this book more highly. Ar Dr. Overman shows us, our world views determine our values, beliefs, and behavior. Do you have a consistent world view? Read this book and find out.

Enlightening and valuable

This book was excellent for perspective on Greek and Hebrew thought and it's outworking in Western Society. The author has managed to communicate in a very clear and simple way. Enlightening and challenging.

Life Changing

This book can change your life. It explores the way people think and why people believe the way they believe. Hebrew vs Greek philosophy, etc. I realize now that I had been reading scripture from the wrong mindset...and now that I can relate a little better to a Hebrew mindset, many truths are being revealed to me. I highly recommend that any Christian who is ready to make a breakthrough spiritually read this book.
