At a time of crisis for Christianity in the West, God is Good for You shows just why we need faith in our world.
Shortlisted for the Australian Christian Book of the Year
The Judeo-Christian tradition has created and underpinned the moral and legal fabric of Western civilisation for more than 2000 years, yet now we've reached a point in both Australia and many parts of the West where Christianity has become a minority faith rather than the mainstream belief. It's a situation that's fraught both for Christians and our wider society, where the moral certainties that were the foundation of our institutions and laws are no longer held by the majority.
At this point of crisis for faith, God is Good for You shows us why Christianity is so vital for our personal and social well-being, and how modern Christians have never worked so hard to make the world a better place at a time when their faith has never been less valued. It carries a vital torch for Christianity in a way that's closely argued, warmly human, good humoured yet passionate, and, above all, convincing.
'A beautiful piece of writing. It is subtle in argument, generous in its breadth.' - Kim Beazley
'Anyone concerned about the depletion of God from the Western imagination should read Greg Sheridan's God is Good for You.' - Anthony Fisher, Catholic Archbishop of Sydney
