“Brief, insightful, well-researched, and extremely timely. This deserves wide circulation.”

Peter J. Williams, Principal, Tyndale House, Cambridge

“This concise, biblically sound book packs a powerful punch. It is a much-needed and edifying resource for the church in view of the world’s misapprehensions about Christianity. I highly recommend it.”

Becket Cook, author, A Change of Affection: A Gay Man’s Incredible Story of Redemption; Host, The Becket Cook Show

“Sharon James has written a critical book for a critical time. With characteristic intellectual rigor and concrete evidence, she makes an overwhelming case for the positive impact of Christianity on the world, both historically and today. But what makes this book really stand out is how clear, concise, and easy to read it is. It is well worth anyone’s time!”

Philippa Taylor, Director, Institute for Faith and Culture

“A vital read in our cultural moment, giving us renewed courage to see that authentic discipleship leads to the transformation of society for human flourishing, as we ourselves have been transformed by the self-giving God.”

Benedict Harding, Head of Relay and Leadership Network, UCCF: The Christian Unions

“The gospel is a simple, glorious message that has radically changed the world. Seeds of truth have brought forth beauty. It can be disappointing, therefore, when the massive contributions of the Christian gospel are neglected in the minds of the majority of those who benefit from it daily. Sharon James has written a uniquely powerful and clear book, demonstrating historically, sociologically, and with excellent examples that Christianity has been good for the world—and still is.”

Ben Virgo, Director, Christian Heritage London

“Sharon James is a gift to Christ’s church. This clear and concise book will help Christians and non-Christians see that freedom, dignity, justice, education, technology, creation care, and hospitals did not arise in a vacuum. They grew from the soil of the Christian worldview. James shows the beauty of the ways of God and how the gospel is, in fact, good news for the whole world.”
