Easy read
Review byJulie
I’ve read many books on biblical worldview and apologetics, I found this book to be an easy read and great for those beginning to understand worldview and culture. She gives basic definitions for different worldviews and buzzwords we hear in our culture today. I didn’t agree with some of her statements in the book but overall it was informative on culture and how to equip yourself for conversations with your older elementary and up kids.

A Much-Needed Tool for parents!
Review byMichelle C.
To be honest, when I first started reading Christ Over Culture, I thought it was just another book on the culture war that we as Christian parents are fighting. Being someone who grew up in church and in a Christian home, I felt like the first few chapters were familiar in content. While continuing this book, I was expecting to read more of what I’ve already read in Christian culture books. Boy was I wrong!
A few chapters in, the book very quickly became a reference book, parent guide, and cultural dictionary all rolled into one. This little book is like a crash course on the postmodern culture for Christian parents. It is packed full of terms, ideologies and definitions that we need to be prepared to teach our kids. The author discusses various facets of postmodernism and how those can affect our children. She then leads us in ways to counteract those ideas with Biblical truth.
I would gladly hand this book to someone who is overwhelmed by everything that is going on in our culture today. The chapters are short, and the format is appealing with subtitles, bullet points and lists. The author brings truth and encouragement to every chapter, and I naturally wanted to keep reading. I am so thankful to now have a book from a Biblical worldview that I can refer to when I need reminding of postmodern ideologies and how to prepare my kids to stand for Christ in the midst of them.

Helpful book for parents!
Review bySB
Christ Over Culture is a useful book that helps prepare us to respond to the many issues we find in today’s culture. I appreciated the way the author educated about what the various issues are, including terminology, and provided suggestions of how to prepare our children to face these issues. The glossary and index at the back of the book are helpful as well.

Very Good
Review byHeaTher
This is a book I wanted to read for the sake of my kids. It is a very strange world they are growing up in. I am pleased by what I took away from this reading: loads of information that makes it make sense, a lot of encouragement, and an armouring Biblical Worldview. I started reading and couldn’t put it down! If you have kids of any age this is an invaluable resource.

A must-read for every Christian parent!
Review byMichelle
In today's world where sin becomes the new "normal" and the tendency is to adapt and accept and become more "open minded" parents all over aiming to raise children biblically and disciple them according to God's plan need to take the time to read this book.

A must read for parents, or even to share the Gospel
Review byBarbara D
I originally bought this book for a book club not knowing what to expect, but as a mom who wants to build up her kids a the unshakable rock of Christ I am glad I bought this book. Not only is it informative on what is going on in the current culture, but how we got here, and how to help our kids. It's not a time to bury our heads in the sand and hope the culture passes us over, but to be intentional in teaching our kids in who God is and to teach our kids who He says they are. The author gives many tips how for us as parents to help our kids and helps us as adults know what we are teaching our kids for.
It is also effective for those in sharing the gospel at this time as the author goes into the definitions of some of the same terminology we use but has different meanings.
Once I opened the book and started reading, I couldn't stop!
This book is also part of a morning basket and pairs really well with the other books in the collection.

Equipping Intentional Parents to Teach a Relevant Faith
Review byCharity
Andrea's love for the truth of God's Word and the Gospel is infused into this great book designed to help parents be intentional about equipping our children to stand in a post-christian culture. Each chapter is simple and easy to read, but is jam packed with guidance on how to teach our children a Biblical Worldview and apply the Bible's teaching to the culture around us. She addresses relevant issues like race, gender identity, feminism and the woke agenda through a gospel lens. And though this book includes apologetics, she constantly reminds us of the importance of our children's relationship with God as superceding knowing all the facts or as a mere ticket to heaven. I have enjoyed discussing and reading this Book in the Master Books Bookclub with Andrea on the Master Books app and can't wait to explore the rest of the book with this wonderful community.

Great tool!
Review byjesusfreak
This book is so relevant for raising our kids today. Andrea does a great job of teaching parents in how to instruct and prepare our children for the cultural issues that are so prevalent in our culture today. (I have already started implementing them!). By giving them a Godly worldview and teaching them the different types of worldviews that they will encounter, they will be less likely to be blindsided by the confusion that the world is throwing at them. I highly recommend this book.
