What should we do now? asks the penetrating question that every committed Christian needs to answer: What has happened to the Christian church and its message? Church attendance is down and Christians have never been perceived more poorly than they are today. Clearly what we have been doing for the last fifty years or so is not working. The question confronts us: Is there something wrong with the gospel of Jesus Christ, or are "we" the problem? Has all the hypocrisy, the corruption, the political pandering, and harsh judgments of everyone but ourselves finally taken its ugly toll?
What we should do now? calls on all Christians to acknowledge our mistakes and failures and for each of us to abandon our misguided ways and priorities. The author summons all true believers back to the roots of the gospel of Jesus Christ as depicted for us in the New Testament.

What should we do now? reminds us that faith, hope and love are in fact still the answers this world needs to heal the human spirit and bring peace to a fractured and troubled planet.
