"This is an unusual book in two regards that commend itfor the beginner in worldview thinking. First, it is not about theistic apologeticsin the traditional sense, nor about worldviews philosophically developed, but about worldviews as ways of experiencing life.Eight hidden worldviews have infiltratedcontemporary culture, reshaping human experience and our perceptions of life'spurpose.The authorsuncoverthe tacit assumptions, andtake stock ofthe actualproposals in the light of insights from a variety of disciplines. They concludebyinviting the reader todevelop a theisticworldview that integrates everyaspect of life into a consistent whole, under the guidance of the Wesleyan quadrilateral (this is the book's second unusual regard): Scripture, tradition, reason and experience."

"Like undetected germs that make us sick, there are also a variety of worldview stories that are infecting the thought and lifestyles of Christians today, yet often without their awareness. It is essentially a form of 'heart' disease caused by several lived perspectives to which the Christian community is surreptitiously but effectively exposed in the contagion of the surrounding culture. Wilkens and Sanford, as if they were physicians, analyze these 'hidden' worldviews that are causing so much affliction, and offer the remedy of a robust Christian one. This book is good medicine for a serious illness that is plaguing many in the church today."

"Within our worldviews are heart-orienting, mind-structuring commitments that govern each person's life. Often we pay so little attention to these commitments that they lie hidden from us. Some of these commitments clash with and corrupt our ability to live a faithfullife for Christ. Wilkens and Sanford identify and unmask eight of these, showing how they affect our commitment to Christ. This work will serve as an excellent complement to my own The Universe Next Door."
