Finally. Al Mohler has published his own book.

His forthcoming work Culture Shift is vintage Mohler—and that’s a very good thing.

Culture Shift is a compilation of twenty key posts from his blog that have been worked together to provide a coherent message on Christian cultural engagement, especially in the public political realm.

Mohler’s impetus for Christian engagement, stated with clarity several times in the book, is the greatest and second commandments. Christians first love God and then, flowing from that, love their neighbor. And loving your neighbor does not mean withdrawing but engaging and providing a Christian perspective and presence in the public arena for the glory of God and the good of others.

Mohler is very careful to never leave the gospel behind in all his culture talk. He explicitly comes back to the gospel and its advance and its essentiality in the whole process time and again.

The release date is January 15, but it's available now to pre-order.
