Preaching to Pluralists: How to Proclaim Christ in a Postmodern Age
From the back cover:
Effective evangelistic sermons require preachers to know their audience and to tailor their preaching accordingly. Chris Altrock uses findings of the Barna Research Group and his own experiences as a preacher to support his descriptions of several characteristics common to the unchurched or lost today. Recognizing that this audience is vastly different from previous generations, Altrock suggests several approaches to postmodern listeners, challenging preachers to change in order to reach the “field of harvest” that Jesus calls the church to love.

The Cross: Saved by the Shame of it All
From the back cover:
In “The Cross” Chris Altrock captures the ultimate paradox–the alarming truth–that the only way we can get rid of our own shame is to share our Lord’s. With parables as modern as tomorrow, with careful research of crucifixion accounts as dusty as centuries past, with insightful application of Scriptures as true as a Father’s promise, this promising young author beckons us back to Calvary where death yields up life, where disgrace enables grace.

Rebuilding Relationships
From the back cover:
They stand at the center of each person’s life. They are the three fundamental relationships from which we derive our greatest joys and our greatest pains: our relationship with others, our relationship with God, and our relationship with possessions. Most of us long for fulfilling families, friendships, and daily relationships. Many of us are searching for a deep and authentic spirituality. The majority of us want balance when it comes to the things we own—we don’t want them to own us! In his greatest sermon, Jesus addresses these longings. Using the image of a house, he reveals a floor plan which takes these three relationships into account. He demonstrates how to build a life characterized by genuine relationships, rewarding piety, and freedom from the slavery of debt and materialism. Jesus does this by punching a hole in the roof of our lives and urging us to look through it to the God above. Throughout his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus removes the dark clouds of divine mystery and reveals surprising views of God which transform how we treat others, the way in which we practice our spiritual life, and the view we take on wealth and possessions. Let the Master Carpenter help you build a better life. Strengthen your relationships. Deepen your spiritual experiences. And find true financial freedom.
