description: Too often Christians pick and choose which social causes they are willing to engage in based on what our culture deems fashionable while remaining silent on others out of discomfort or fear of personal persecution. But the Bible makes it abundantly clear that is not what Christs followers are called to do.In Counter Culture New York Times bestselling author David Platt redefines social justice from a biblical standpoint and makes a compelling case for why Christians are called to fully and actively surrender themselves to every cause  regardless of personal cost or consequence.Drawing heavily on Scripture and compelling personal accounts from around the world Platt presents a pointed yet winsome call for readers to faithfully follow Christ in countercultural ways  ways that will prove both costly and rewarding for the contemporary church.
