The first two chapters here are not an easy read - at least it wasn’t for me. But these chapters lay the groundwork for the rest of the book, which is practical, historical and wise. I learned more than I wanted (or needed) to know about warfare in those first two chapters — and I would say - they are probably better directed at men in the reading crowd. But the rest of the book gave great optimism in outlook, as well as realism in viewing our current culture - the Kingdom of God - and the covenantal process that God is overseeing in all His world that He governs. This book is typical ‘DW’ style and zings you plenty along the way. A good read - I must say.

Absolutely A Must Read!
I have finished this absolutely fantastic book, I highly recommend it, I like Douglas Wilson, he always speaks brilliant things in a practical way. I love that he summarily rejected and rebuked the idea of being a, "nice", Christian but made it quite clear of the sheer laziness of that approach, especially since much of it is an attempt at social approval or fear of being what he, "cool shaming" but we Christians must remember that anything or anyone that is not with Christ, is against Him. He challenged Christian to develop a robust sense of humor, to not be offendable. The Rules for Reformers are as follows: 1) Jesus is the same, yesterday, today and forever. 2) Always remember the distinction between principles and methods. 3) Reformers are conservatives, which means they must be prefer the concrete to the abstract. 4) Reformers must cultivate a high sense of humor. 5) Reformers must be combative. 6) Reformers must play the long game. 7) Reformers must be remember always that religion shapes culture, and culture trumps politics. I would encourage everyone to look up Douglas Wilson, he offers a different perspective on many of the issues of our day than the dichotomy that mainstream culture would like us to believe that there is. The fact is, the Christian needs to remember that we transform or reform the world by renewing our minds, we do this, by bringing every thought captive and to the obedience of Christ, because Christ is our hope and we must be able to give the reasons why He is our hope, thus be apologetist for Christ, the cross, Him crucified and risen again and that the only way to salvation is through Him and belief in His blood to justify us before God, and God's grace giving us faith to believe in Him, through His Word that is our sword to contend for our faith, the Spirit for our sanctification and for, by, and of the glory of God and it is not work of men but solely the work if God. In a world of radicals, we Christians must be Reformers and transformers of this world, not conforming to the world, but conforming to the image of God and Christ Jesus.
