This book is presented as "core-curriculum" for young adults and new believers alike, who wish to not only survive but thrive as Christians in our challenging, secular, atheistic culture. This five-fold foundation can help us stand as well as advance against today's increasingly strong cultural headwinds.

A ¿ Empowering spirituality in keeping with Christianity's rich 2000 year history.

B ¿ Exposé of today's atheistic, materialistic culture.

C ¿ Basic religious literacy (including atheism as a belief system).

D ¿ A lay person's strategies for validating foundational assumptions.

E ¿ A dynamic encounter with the Bible's Mother-Story.
