A bridge to action and hope

Everyone--not only Christians and not only evangelical Christians--is faced with the issues and concerns Aeschliman discusses in Global-Trends. Aeschliman offers reasoned commentary and plans for action and, because of his background, bridges the often too-wide gap between Americans who are religious and those who are secular. We are all in this life together and we should, no matter our ideology, work together to find solutions to the problems we face. Aeschliman is not proselytizing when he describes Islam's global advances--he pleads for mutual tolerance. He is not saying "I told you so" when he discusses the decline and fall of Russian communism--rather he asks what America is to do in a post-communist world when for so many decades, her Cold War focus has not only given her an enemy but has blinded her to the humanity we share with citizens of communist countries. Throughout, Aeschliman never loses the direction of his faith walk nor becomes distracted from his vision of a Christian global future. But the book is not a preaching polemic for a single view and non-religious people will find it interesting and worth their while.
