Title: Worldliness: Resisting the Seduction of a Fallen World

Author: Edited by C.J. Mahaney

Brief summary: This book describes the pervasive danger of worldliness among Christians. Chapter by chapter, each author discusses an area of life in which worldliness sneaks in: Media, music, materialism, and clothing. Finally the book ends with the godly ways in which we should interact with the world.

What I liked about it: I very much enjoyed how practical this book was. Each chapter was well laid out biblically, and each topic presented many challenging applications.

If this tells you anything, I can’t wait to get this book into the hands of my teens!  While every generation is bombarded by worldliness, teens are especially vulnerable to peer pressure (what every one around them is doing) and yet it’s also a season in which a person is establishing their own ideas and habits that will affect them for years to come. The foundation laid in this book is exactly what our teens need to hear.
