Officiel I Apologize ...but not like you think by Jim McCracken NEUF

What Is This Book?

You know when someone says something thats just wrong, but its not until the moment has passed that youve put together the fitting response? Sometimes there isnt the opportunity in the moment; sometimes the exact reply doesnt come to mind. This book is what the author wishes he could reply when people make erred statements or ask questions that touch on current issues and faith. Not "zingers" and "gotchas", but thoughtful, concise, biblical, provocative responses crafted to prompt further thought.

These apologetic one-two punches are directed at the wild swings of our pugilistic culture which increasingly rages against all sanity... and ultimately against the God that gave it breath and legs on which to stand.

57 common comments and questions apologetically addressed include these:

* People are basically good. Its imposed traditional social constructs that mess them up.

* Unlimited gender types, gender neutral, gender fluid, intersex-theyre all valid. Youre homophobic. Youre transphobic.

* Stop thinking binary! Everything is multi-faceted. There are no absolutes.

* Dystopias are just fiction, as are utopias.

* Every generation thinks its era was the golden one. Thats just nostalgia. Theyre all basically the same.

* You have to love yourself before you can love others.

* Im not like most people. Im different, kind of odd. I do my own thing.

* The church should be seeker friendly, welcoming and accepting of all kinds of people.

* Most people need therapy at some time. Modern culture creates so much stress.

* I believe that the Universe knows, controls, and determines all.

This book reflects the authors personal attempt to stand firm on the straight path - to keep his feet and direction amidst the floundering culture in which he lives. If others reading this are aided in their stand against the empty insanity, its considered a victory.
