Publisher Description
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.

"This is the second book that I've finished by this author. He does a great job communicating the truth from God's word. I love that his dedication page has a quote from Angels and Airwaves. That explains Tullian. He can bring culture and truth together. Read this book."

" Tchividjian has written a masterful prophetic word to the modern American church here. His message is clear, biblical and powerful: we followers of Jesus make the most difference in this world by being different from this world. "

" This book dives into how to accomplish what it's subtitle states, "Making a difference in the world by being different". It was a bit hard to stay with sometimes, but overall, was a good read. "

" An excellent book. Tchividjian makes the point that Christians make a difference in this world by being different from this world; they don't make a difference by being the same. Really thought provoking and what Christians need to hear and heed. "
— Lee, 9/5/2013 -
