As followers of Jesus, we know that the good news is deeply appealing. But we often fear that, to outsiders, it may seem irrelevant, or even repulsive. Sometimes the Christian worldview seems so out of step with everything that’s going on that we don’t know how to share our faith.

However, author Daniel Strange wants to show you that the connections are there – in fact, the desires that our culture cannot help but express are the very ones that Jesus fulfills.

Drawing on the work of theologian J.H. Bavinck, Dan Strange reveals five recurring themes that our culture can’t help but talk about, or, as he puts it, the “five permanent ‘itches’ that we must scratch vigorously in our work. , our rest and our leisure”. From TV to books to social media, these are the questions we can’t stop asking and the tensions we can’t stop wrestling with – and Jesus speaks powerfully in each of them.

This book will help you spot these connections in our culture, excite you about how Jesus makes sense of humanity’s deepest questions and longings, apply them first to your own life, then equip you to speak from him to others in a truly magnetic way.

“Dan Strange has written another terrific, down-to-earth book to help believers have meaningful conversations about faith with their friends.” Dr. Timothy Keller, who also wrote the foreword to this book.
