| We live in a day of profound confusion. Because of our advanced technology and because of high literacy rates worldwide, we are all regularly deluged with more information than we can handle. Information about world events, philosophy, and religion from all sorts of perspectives is available to us and our children. The world is talking to itself as perhaps it never has before, and we are compelled to listen.Given this situation, we may be tempted to shut our students' ears. "Don't listen to what they're saying," we sometimes feel we should say. "It will poison your minds." Certainly, such an approach is easy. But it is doomed to failure. The chatter of competing worldviews cannot be ignored because it cannot be escaped. What the ungodly think about our world saturated our culture. If we tell the young people under our charge simply to ignore other worldviews, we will send them into life unprepared and vulnerable. We must familiarize them with the leading non-Christian worldviews of our day. |

| Pudge was a big fish. A very big fish. He was so big, he couldn't do what the other fish in his school did. He didn't feel like he was worth anything...that is, until God gave Pudge a job that only Pudge could do...eat the prophet Jonah. |

| Fleeing the compromises of the 4th century church, the Desert Fathers founded monasticism. In reaction to a Christianity they scarcely recognized, these radicals fled to the Egyptian desert to model a different, radical style of discipleship, filled with sacrifice and continual prayer. Who are the new monks, the new revolutionaries? The answer lies in an upsurge of 24-7 monastic communities around the world. Read about the beginnings of 24-7 Prayer Boiler Rooms with a discussion on the roots of monasticism and particularly its ethos and values, and how these can be applied in the third millennium. Drawing on influences from the Franciscans, the Celts and the Moravians, Punk Monk highlights the counter-cultural and revolutionary force of monasticism and asks whether it is time for a new monastic movement. It also takes punk as a contemporary expression of monastic spirit and asks whether a "silent revolution" is coming. Find out how Greig and Freeman know "when the gospels are taken seriously nothing can be the same again. When put into practice, the lives, the community, the nations, the world will be changed. It's guaranteed." |
