description: A 2005 Evangelical Christian Publishing Association Gold Medallion finalist. How can we make our lives matter? John Adams and Thomas Jefferson lived in serious times. And, because they chose to live serious times, they turned the course of history. Finding inspiration in their example, James Emery White looks not at them but at our society. He shows how understanding our history and our postmodern biases can better prepare Christians for the important work of advancing the Kingdom of God on Earth. Brief biographical sketches of seven admirable people noted for having lived seriously impactful lives are interleaved between chapters that alternate between penetrating cultural analysis and practical advice on how to live with purpose.
