I don’t thing I ever recommended a book before I finished reading it, but here goes. I purchased the Kindle edition of “The Eclipse of God: Our Nation’s Disastrous Search for a More Inclusive Deity (and What We Must Do About It)” by Erwin Lutzer just recently and have just began reading it. It was published on September 10th of this year. Here’s the Amazon Books description:

In The Eclipse of God, bestselling author Erwin Lutzer exposes our nation’s disastrous efforts to redefine God in its own image. The resulting damage has been so great that confusion about God has even crept into the church. This bold exposition will help you

• understand society’s attempts to make God inclusive and sin-friendly by exploring the intellectual roots of the present darkness
• renew your faith in God by replacing worldly misperceptions of Him with the biblical truths about His unchanging character
• resist cultural conformity by counting the cost of faith as you shine the gospel’s light with accuracy and grace

Timely and practical, The Eclipse of God will deepen your love for the sovereign God of the Bible and empower you to live and speak as a light for Him in a culture of darkness.

Dr. R. Albert J. Mohler Jr. wrote the Forward for the book and said, in part::

“A look across today’s conservative landscape reveals a near-universal sense of cultural crisis. But far too many conservatives place their confidence in some form of cultural rescue from our crisis. Biblically minded Christians know that we bear an important moral, cultural, and political stewardship in this age. And yet, we also know that salvation will not come by means of politics. The base problem is theological, and the only rescue that matters is, first of all, a theological rescue.”

“We do not face a set of isolated and disconnected challenges. The rebellion of this age is both comprehensive and systemic. A rebellion that started out demanding liberation from the Bible’s sexual morality now denies the physical reality of male and female. We have gone from the “swingers” of the sixties to a man in a female racing suit on the women’s swim team of a leading American university. Understood from a Christian perspective, this was absolutely predictable. It can seem daunting and depressing to Christians, and understandably so. And yet, we have been called to faithfulness in this generation, and that means engaging the battle and not running from it.”
