About this audiobook
Tullian Tchividjian remembers the Sunday morning he woke up hung over, still dressed in the clothes he'd worn until passing out during a night of partying. After five-years of hard living, Tullian had come to the end of himself. He got up and went down the street to church. What he found there shocked him--a community of Christians who joyfully and radically lived out the Gospel in ways he'd never seen before. The encounter showed him a new way of living in the world-and he came to personal faith in Christ. // Tullian's experience convinced him that young Christians today don't want a faith community that tries to come off as appealing and trendy. Christ followers are called to embrace a standard that's “out of this world.” Why? Because the only way to make a difference in the world is by being different. // To help his listeners re-imagine a radically “unfashionable” lifestyle, Tullian examines what Gospel-infused priorities would look like in relationships, community, work, finances and culture. Listeners will come away with a clear picture of what it means to live subversively-and redemptively-for God.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Excellent!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A very good contrarian book that shows how churches and Christians should not try so hard to be fashionable. Instead, we are called to be different, to be "out of this world". Tchividjian does an excellent job showing how by being different, Christians can make a difference--the difference they are called to make. I would recommend this book to anyone who questions the role of the megachurch in 21st Century Christianity.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Culturally aware, Tullian Tchividjian argues that the Church seems to lose its identity when it strives to be in the world for the worlds good instead of against the world for its good. This little call was a great introduction to counter-culture without abandoning the world for good. Great stories and honesty permeate each page. Should be read again in the future.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was amazing! I underlined about half of it, and plan on going back and reading it again in a couple of months, just to soak more of it in. Tullian presents a compelling case for "living against the world, for the world" as Christians by being people of "double listening--listening to both the questions of the world and to the answers of the Word."
