On Point of View today our guests are, JJ Jasper, John Maxwell, and Rod Dreher.
JJ Jasper tells us about his book, “Losing Cooper: Finding Hope to Grieve Well.” The book chronicles the Jasper family’s journey through darkness, but offers real hope to anyone experiencing trouble, trials, or tragedy. It deals with shock, loss, and grief from a Biblical perspective.
Next we welcome #1 New York Times bestselling author, coach, and speaker, John Maxwell. His book, “Learning from the Giants: Life and Leadership Lessons from the Bible (Giants of the Bible),” draws on fifty years of studying the Bible to share the stories of Elijah, Elisha, Job, Jacob, Deborah, Isaiah, Jonah, Joshua and Daniel and how they can help us today.
Finally we hear from author, Rod Dreher. He discusses his book, “The Benedict Option: A Strategy for Christians in a Post-Christian Nation.” In it he calls on American Christians to prepare for the coming Dark Age by embracing an ancient Christian way of life.
JJ co-hosts a national morning radio show on American Family Radio network (approximately 200 stations in 36 states). When he’s not motivating listeners with his unique brand of humor and encouragement, he is entertaining people as a stand-up comedian and keynote speaker.
He is the author of Losing Cooper: Finding Hope to Grieve Well, Moses Was A Basketcase and a children’s book, When I Grow Up.
His latest comedy DVD is The JJ Jasper, “I Hope I Break Even Tour.”
JJ and his wife, Melanie, along with their four children live in Tupelo, Mississippi.
The light of the Christian faith is flickering out all over the West, and only the willfully blind refuse to see it. From the outside, American churches are beset by challenges to religious liberty in a rapidly secularizing culture. From the inside, they are being hollowed out by the departure of young people and a watered-down pseudo-spirituality. Political solutions have failed, as the triumph of gay marriage and the self-destruction of the Republican Party indicate, and the future of religious freedom has never been in greater doubt. The center is not holding. The West, cut off from its Christian roots, is falling into a new Dark Age.
