No, We Can't: Radical Islam, Militant Secularism and the Myth of Coexistence by Robert Stearns


Every now and then I like to take a break from reading fluffy fiction to read something that is actually relevant to my life or the world at the time.  No, We Can't by Robert Stearns came across my computer screen and I found myself very interested in reviewing it.  The world is changing and as he says, "Tolerance is prized more than truth."  Our culture is so confusing to me, and reading this book helped me understand some of the problem.  No matter how much we want to believe that coexistence between radical Islam, militant secularism, and Judeo-Christianity is possible, the bottom line is that it really isn't.  Robert Stearns addresses these three sections of our culture in great detail and then explains what it means to the believer and how we should respond.  Some of the topics he covers are the power of radical Islam to reshape Western culture, why Judeo-Christianity is losing its strength, and what believers can and must do.  He says, "The ultimate dominance of any of these worldviews will create a tipping point in global culture." 

I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand more about the worldviews Christianity is up against in our culture.  It was a quick read and very easy to follow with a lot of extremely interesting and helpful information. 

I was given this book in exchange for a review by Baker Publishing Group.
