From Roaring Lambs...

We feel we are making a difference because we are so important to ourselves. We have created a phenomenal subculture with our own media, entertainment, educational system, and political hierarchy so that we have the sense that we're doing a lot. But what we've really done is create a ghetto that is easily dismissed by the rest of society.... Real people with real problems just don't care about the things we argue and fight about (with each other). What's more, they see us arguing and fighting and decide they don't need what we have.

What I'm calling for is a radically different way of thinking about our world. Instead of running from it, we need to rush into it. And instead of just hanging around the fringes of our culture, we need to be right smack dab in the middle of it.

This book challenges the common christian practice of running from the problem (ie, boycotting) and instead offers a suggestion to do something about it. Don't like something you read in the paper or in a magazine, write a letter to the editor and explain your position both passionately and effectively. Watch good tv shows instead of bad ones and let the tv stations know that you liked the show and encourage them to show others like it. When christians leave the field, there is a vacuum that is created. What do you think fills that void? If all we do is complain about things but don't do anything about them, will anyone listen or care about what we have to say?
