A unique and thoughtful book

Schaeffer's understanding of society, and the meaning of God's work in it is unique and challenging. This book is one which packs a lot of information into a small number of pages, and enlightens the reader throughout. I highly recommend it, and all of Schaeffer's work, really.

Amazing Book

This is truly an amazing book. Schaeffer finds a way to make God truly real in this book while going through three books of the Bible. While walking the reader through Jeremiah we see how America today is so like the culture of that time. Read this book to find out what happens to that culture and possibly what will happen to America in the futue. This is on my top 10 books list!!! I loved it and hope you will find a copy somewhere and read it.

Death in the City was Schaeffer's third book and is foundational to his thinking. Written against the backdrop of the sixties countercultural upheaval, it reads today with the same ring of truth regarding personal, moral, spiritual, and intellectual concerns. Especially in light of 9/11, Schaeffer seems disturbingly prophetic. The death that Schaeffer writes about is more than just physical death--it is the moral and spiritual death that subtly suffocates truth and meaning and beauty out of the city and the wider culture.
