Still In Hong Kong, Still Wondering

Fernando,

NIce site. I like your incubator metaphor as well as your self-designation as musician-theologian (musician first).

As an multi-international musician-theologian you might “get” this quicker than others — something I’ve been working on for the past three years.

I’ve been trying to look at Christian faith and the alternatives through the lens of, or with the tool of, the concept of worldview. Compared to how most Christians do it, my approach really comes at people sideways.

Anyway, in working this stuff through I wrote a simple, fun beginner’s book on the concept of worldview, the major worldviews, and the biblical worldview.

It’s called Blah, Blah, Blah: Making Sense of the World’s Spiritual Chatter (Bethany House, releasing May 3). You can read all about it, including downloading the first three chapters, at blahblahbook.com. There you can also find endorsements by Christian leaders, testimonies of kids, study questions, tips on how to teach worldviews, a bio and a blog.

When I wrote it I wrote if for pre-, mid- and post-college students, along with anybody else who wants to be a more confident, effective public representative of Christian faith in an increasingly pluralistic and postmodern culture.

But it’s also taking my cross-cultural missionary training and applying it to my own culture.

It would be really intriguing to hear if you think a book like this would be useful in the kinds of cross-cultural settings you’re continually finding yourself in.
