Good book, worth the time to read - target is college students

This is a very good book to encourage all Christians to take very seriously the commandment of Christ to love the Lord our God with all of our minds! Gill examines some of the common obstacles in today's world that serve as excuses for many which has resulted in a loss of the "Christian mind." He challenges Christians who are well-educated by today's standards to examine if they are thinking and applying their Christianity to their fields of study or expertise - most are not. Gill then dives in to explain what he thinks are the six characteristics which define a Christian way of thinking: (1) a theological mind; (2) a historical mind; (3) a humanist mind; (4) an ethical mind; (5) a truthful mind; and (6) an aesthetic mind. Gill goes on to encourage the reader to develop a plan that would strengthen their Christian mind, and learn to apply this Christian worldview in practical ways even at work. Gill obviously encourages a greater emphasis on reading and challenges Christians to redeem their time, not waste it watching TV! The primary audience for the book seems to be college-aged students or young professionals who are looking to engage the world for Christ, but are lost as to what that looks like. The book is easy to read, and gives the reader some practical insight into developing a personal plan for self-examination as well as setting forth a comprehensive reading plan based in Scripture but fortified with the great works of the faith.
