Bizarre books
(Sent in by a Briefing reader:)
We couldn't help noticing the startling juxtaposition of two books in the Koorong Sale Catalogue Issue 17, 2004. These two reviews appear right next to each other with full colour photos on page 10:
PROPHETIC UNTIMELINESS: A CHALLENGE TO THE IDOL OF RELEVANCE
By Os Guiness
Never have Christians tried so hard to be relevant. But never have they ended up so irrelevant. Os Guiness shows how we can live with integrity in the midst of modern pressures and explores how we can be truly relevant without being trivial or trendy.
