DOING THE RIGHT THING
10 issues on which Christians have to take a stand
By Rob Frost. Monarch Books. 222 pages. £7.99
ISBN 978-1-85424-838-1

The ten issues which this book explores are: the environment, the poor, a multicultural society, a sex-mad society, the media, a politically correct age, genetics, the unborn, death and society. The book is designed to stimulate Christians to think about the kind of world they want to live in — and to get involved to change things.

The issues are approached from a broadly evangelical perspective. The method is to provoke discussion. It is not a book which carefully weighs the issues but one in which the author offers his own, often passionate, thinking. The discussion questions at the end of each chapter are more than the usual gesture. Specific and penetrating questions are outlined — a useful stimulus for group discussion. The writing is enlivened by the author’s personal experiences and every reader will recognise the contemporary significance of the issues he addresses and their importance for Christians.
