John Stonestreet and Brett Kunkle

The student edition of the popular A Practical Guide to Culture by John Stonestreet and Brett Kunkle delivers a hopeful message to readers ages 15-25 who live every day with increasing cultural pressure. These young people struggle to navigate contemporary challenges to their Christian faith and values, but will be encouraged to emerge as leaders. In A Student's Guide to Culture, Stonestreet and Kunkle write in a highly relational style, sharing insight and experience. Jumping off from the original version, this guide includes all-new discussion questions and stories that remind young readers that they can live differently and be a light in a culture that sometimes feels overwhelming. For today's Christian teens and young adults who live in a culture that aggressively challenges their faith, this book offers a hopeful way forward by providing clear thinking and biblical truth on challenging topics such as gender identity, social media, addiction, pornography, and substance abuse. John Stonestreet is president of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview and cohost of BreakPoint, the daily cultural commentary founded by the late Chuck Colson. John is the coauthor of Restoring All Things, Same-Sex Marriage, Making Sense of Your World, and A Practical Guide to Culture. John and his family live in Colorado Springs. Brett Kunkle is the founder and president of MAVEN (maventruth.com), a movement to equip the next generation to know truth, pursue goodness, and create beauty for the cause of Christ. He is an associate editor for the Apologetics Study Bible for Students and coauthor of A Practical Guide to Culture. Brett lives with his wife and five kids in Southern California. "Here's an invaluable resource for understanding our culture-but equally important, how each of us can play a role in influencing it for Christ. There are keen insights, profound wisdom, and godly vision in these pages. Keep a highlighter handy-you'll need it!" "Better than anything I've read, this book puts the immoral issues you're curious and concerned about in the big-picture context of our chaotic culture. With every chapter you read, you'll understand more about why this matters. You will believe you were 'created for such a time as this' as you read. And you'll know what to do with the passion that bubbles up within you because of the practical action steps and many truths in these pages." "I am thrilled to see this practical and yet timely book to help students navigate the toughest issues today with biblical wisdom. This is an indispensable guide for any young person who wants to know how to think and live Christianly in this generation." "A Student's Guide to Culture is the most important book your young Christians will read this year. It's packed with biblical truth and insight on topics young believers contemplate on a daily basis. John Stonestreet and Brett Kunkle address the most critical issues of culture, helping students to understand why they should care, what they are facing, and how they can navigate the culture in a way that honors God and reflects a Christian worldview. If you're a parent, pastor, or youth volunteer, get this book for your students." "If there was ever a time in history when students needed a practical guide to help them navigate the ideas that shape their culture it's now. And no one is better equipped to prepare them than Brett Kunkle and John Stonestreet. A Student's Guide to Culture is an important resource to help our kids live out a vibrant faith in a post-Christian world."
