Albert Mohler’s New Book: Culture Shift
Dr. Albert Mohler runs one of the most respected Christians blogs, featuring substantive daily posts on theological and cultural matters. Among Dr. Mohler's many gifts is an ability to interpret societal and cultural trends from a distinctively Christian framework. However, do an Amazon search on "Albert Mohler" and you are not likely to find too much with just his name on it. Yes, Dr. Mohler has edited about a dozen books, and he often submits chapters to larger volumes. But in terms of regular output as an author, his primary outlet appears to be his blog. That is why I was very excited … [Read more...] about Albert Mohler’s New Book: Culture Shift
