What Is Gleanings?

At Christianity Today, we’re constantly tracking important developments in the church and the world. Often we use our network of reporters around the world (and for that, visit our main site). But we also monitor other news outlets, bloggers, newsmakers’ social media feeds, and countless other information streams. Gleanings compiles the most urgent and interesting items we’ve found, explains why you need to know about them, and gives you the background you need to understand them. It’s our snapshot of what God is doing in the world, hour by hour.

Living Christianly in a Post-Christian Culture

Andy Crouch moderates a Christian Book Expo panel with Donald Miller, Ruth Haley Barton, Randy Frazee, and Mary DeMuth.

Sarah Pulliam Bailey

A Christian consensus could once be pretty much assumed for Western culture, even if many people didn't possess personal faith. That is no longer true. Christianity is today viewed as just one of many spiritual options - and often with suspicion. How do followers of Christ respond in both word and deed? Christianity Today's Andy Crouch moderated this panel on March 20, 2009 for the Christian Book Expo in Dallas.

Panelists:
•Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz (Nelson)
•Ruth Haley Barton, Sacred Rhythms (Inter-Varsity Press)
•Randy Frazee, Making Room for Life (Zondervan)
•Mary E. DeMuth, Authentic Parenting in a Postmodern Culture (Harvest House)

I just listened to the podcast, and found it very pertinent to developing meaning in my life.

It would be very helpful if the book recommendations at the end of the session were published in a text form, so I can look them up and read the ones that sound right for me.

Thank you.

It is true that we live in a post-modern culture today. Christianity is becoming less and less popular as the final days are here.
