{"product_id":"gray-matters-brett-mccracken-9780801014741","title":"Gray Matters: Navigating the Space Between Legalism and Liberty","description":"Culture is in right now for Christians. Engaging it, embracing it, consuming it, and creating it. Many (younger) evangelicals today are actively cultivating an appreciation for aspects of culture previously stigmatized within the church. Things like alcohol, Hollywood's edgier content, plays, art openings, and concerts have moved from being forbidden to being celebrated by believers. But are evangelicals opening their arms too wide in uncritical embrace of culture? How do they engage with culture in ways that are mature, discerning, and edifying rather than reckless, excessive, and harmful? Can there be a healthy, balanced approach--or is that simply wishful thinking?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the same insight and acuity found in his popular \u003ci\u003eHipster Christianity\u003c\/i\u003e, Brett McCracken examines some of the hot-button gray areas of Christian cultural consumption, helping to lead Christians to adopt a more thoughtful approach to consuming culture in the complicated middle ground between legalism and license. Readers will learn how to both enrich their own lives and honor God--refining their ability to discern truth, goodness, beauty, and enjoy his creation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brett McCracken\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801014743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801014741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.49h x 5.54w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Retailing\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2013 pg. 16","brand":"Brett McCracken","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947167088895,"sku":"9780801014741","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c0f2797d-a711-479f-8107-76985363987f.jpg?v=1681517117","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gray-matters-brett-mccracken-9780801014741","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
