How to Be a Christian in a Brave New World

By: Joni Eareckson Tada, Nigel M. de S. Cameron

Narrated by: Reneé Raudman

Stem-cell research. Cloning. Genetic engineering. Today, discoveries in biotechnology are occurring so rapidly that we can barely begin to address one ethical debate before another looms overhead. This brave new world we've entered is a daunting one as well, with disturbing implications for the sanctity of life and for human nature itself. How should we respond as Christians?

Drawing on an abundance of cutting-edge information and life experience, Joni Eareckson Tada and Nigel M. de S. Cameron help you think through issues no Christian can afford to ignore. As a quadriplegic who has spent three decades advocating for the disability community out of a wheelchair, Joni offers the insights of a woman intimately acquainted with suffering and struggle. Dr. Cameron shares from his vast knowledge as one of today's foremost bioethics.

Together, they offer deeply informed perspectives on such pressing issues as:

• Human cloning
• Designer babies
• Redefining human nature
• Human harvesting

Here is thoughtful, passionate, and gripping reading about the world that is coming - that, indeed, is already here - and how to live out your faith with conviction in its midst.

not as good as I hoped

What did you like best about How to Be a Christian in a Brave New World? What did you like least?

I was disappointed in this book. I have greatly enjoyed many of Joni's books but this one was poorly organized, and therefore repetitive. The material could have been covered in half the time. I really disliked the narrator - she came across as preachy and religious, not logical.

Would you be willing to try another one of Reneé Raudman’s performances?

absolutely not

Was How to Be a Christian in a Brave New World worth the listening time?
