Overview

We stand on the edge of an opportunity unlike any in history. Every moment we hesitate, the distance between irrelevance and influence grows exponentially. Our time is now.

Today's culture is defined by four exponential growth trends: the population boom, the technology tsunami, the rising economy gap and the increasing polarization of worldviews. Rising like tides, these trends are leading us toward a crushing break.

Rising Tides is is a wake-up call for God's people, who must act now to respond to the demands of these shifing tides if they hope to weather the storm. Time is short.

Neil Cole carefully lays out some simple ways we can catch up, and keep up, with this rapid change. With an unflinching appraisal of the challenges we face, coupled with tangible and achievable solutions, Rising Tides offers profound hope for the way forward.

We can future-proof our faith.

The Church will not be overcome, but our old ways must be if we hope to survive the rising tides.
