Living a Biblical Culture: In a Darkening World

by Robert Cowan

Overview

This book contains a series of ‘thoughts’ which have proven helpful to the author in his relentless pursuit of living out a ‘biblical culture’ as a disciple of Jesus Christ. He is devoted now to passing along these ‘helps’ to the next generation of Christian young people facing the growing dilemma of how to truly live for Christ in a darkening world. Concerning this book, he explains, “My goal is to put to pen how God has helped me view the world in such a way as to remain an effective disciple of His for the spiritual benefit of others, in whatever cultures He has taken me. I do not ask you to agree with all my thoughts, but I sincerely hope and pray that some of them will inspire you to follow my example of living out a spiritually effective biblical culture in this darkening world.”

About the Author

Bob was born into a morally upright Canadian middle class family residing in the suburbs outside of Toronto, Ontario. Upon his rather dramatic conversion to the Christian faith, he quickly fell deeply in love with God, and unequivocally committed his life to Jesus. In his passion to live ‘the narrow path’, God prompted him to disciple in a number of youth groups, pastor four congregations, administrate and teach in a Bible College setting and aid the impoverished in several different countries as a missionary.
