About this audiobook
Whether it's TV boxsets, Instagram stories, or historical novels, we all consume culture. So it's important that we are neither bewitched by it-buying into everything it tells us-or bewildered by it-lashing out in judgement or retreating into a Christian bubble.
Dan Strange encourages Christians to engage with everything they watch, to read and play in a positive and discerning way. He also teaches Christians how to think and speak about culture in a way that plugs in to a bigger and better reality-the story of King Jesus, and his cosmic plan for the world.
It's possible to watch TV and read novels and play video games in a way that actually feeds our faith, rather than withers it. It's even possible for you-yes, you-to be that person who starts off talking to a mate about last night's football and ends up talking about Jesus.
