Or why it's tempting to live as if God doesn't exist
By Craig M. Gay
Paternoster Press
ISBN 0 85364 890 5

This is an excellent book, not only because of its masterly critique of the church in the world (and the world in the church) but also because it proposes some realistic but challenging solutions.

Gay begins by tackling the last three centuries, with chapters about the worldliness of modern political aspirations; the irrelevance of God in a technological society; the intrinsic secularity of modern economic life; and the worldly self at the heart of modern culture.
