Learning the Language of Babylon: Changing the World by Engaging the Culture

By Terry M. Crist

Book Overview

Imagine that you are a missionary sent to a foreign nation with the responsibility of reaching the lost and reforming the culture. How effective could you be without learning the language of those to whom you were sent to minister? Likewise, how can we reach the nations in our backyard without understanding the value system that holds them in spiritual captivity?

BEST Book On Culture!

I grew up with the idea of "abstaining" from the culture and your book has encouraged and blessed me to continue pressing on to penetrate the culture with Christlike actions and attitudes. Also REALLY appreciate reading about the folks who go to work every week in their careers and making a difference. My wife's not working now and probably going to take the summer off, but is frustrated at not making more of a "difference", like missions work. But what I've shared with her is that people like herself in the corporate world ARE the salt and light that are making their witness known through integrity, faithfullness, etc. Wow, good stuff! I read a lot and your book is one of the best I've read this year and the BEST book on culture I've ever read...good job!
