The Christian faith may similarly change the world again today. The church can be revived to become a renewing power in our society--if we answer the call to a new Christian renaissance that challenges darkness with the hope of Christian faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this hopeful appeal for cultural transformation, Guinness shares opportunities for Christians, on both local and global levels, to win back the West and to contribute constructively to the human future.

Each chapter closes with thought-provoking discussion questions and a brief, heart-felt prayer that challenges and motivates us to take action in our lives today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOs Guinness (DPhil, Oxford) is the author or editor of more than thirty-five books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Dust of Death\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Call\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFool's Talk\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCarpe Diem Redeemed\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Magna Carta of Humanity\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLast Call for Liberty\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eImpossible People\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUnspeakable\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTime for Truth\u003c\/i\u003e.
