Fearless!

A TIME FOR CONFIDENCE:
Trusting God in a Post-Christian Society
By Stephen J. Nichols,
Reformation Trust. 152 pages. £8.21
ISBN 978 1 567 697 209

This new work by historian Stephen Nichols, President of Reformation Bible College in Florida, is a fine study of the nature of Christian confidence.

Nichols skilfully intertwines short expositions of Scripture with lessons from church history and from contemporary events to help Christians to have confidence in God, in his Word, in his Son, in the gospel, and in hope. Each of these foci of confidence forms a chapter. Together they make a compelling case that ours is a day for Christians to be a people not dominated by fear or terrified by a culture seemingly spinning out of control, but marked by firm convictions and confidence in God and his purposes in history and plans for the future. Nichols’ study is an extremely helpful response to the fresh cultural challenges facing Christians in the world of post-modernity and ‘post-truth.’
