Sharper Way of Thinking
Description:... Dr. Martin Lloyd Jones once said that faith is thinking. This is true, because faith is not blind; right believing grows out of right thinking. Between the covers of this book is a fully reliable method clearly laid out in seven steps, to enable you to think straight and to find your way to a faith that really works. In his crisp and concise way, Justin Michell gives us an excellent understanding of the problems lurking in our thinking, and shows how to get back on track. With the plight of young people at the fore of his mind, Michell offers readers a fail-safe way that will lead them up seven user-friendly steps towards certainty and hope. Only those who work among students and other young people know how desperate their situation is- and it's getting worse. Their growing bewilderment, despair and hopelessness have now reached alarming levels. The tsunami waves of relativism, atheism and other 'isms' have swept away their beliefs and have left them floundering in confusion. It is no exaggeration to say that millions of decent young people are living below the spiritual bread line. They have lost their way, and they despair of ever finding it again. They have no values, no standards to cling to and no hope. Young people today face a desperate challenge. The meaninglessness of their empty existence has driven many of them to despair, and their attempts to fill the void with various forms of fun don't solve, but only compound their problem. Nevertheless, when they face up to the futility of their way of life and choose a new sort of thinking they will stand a good chance to come right. This book will help them to do this. Through this book, Justin Michell will introduce readers to A Sharper Way of Thinking. Justin Michell has studied among young people most of his life, both as a student himself and later, as a college lecturer. These ongoing close contacts, plus those of his own seven children and their spouses have kept him in close touch with the minds of young folk and have enabled him to stay young in heart himself. He holds five degrees including a doctorate in philosophy. After teaching in a high school, he lectured in the College of Education for Further Training, in Pretoria, where teachers studied for further degrees or diplomas. On his retirement, he was Associate Head of the Department of Biblical Studies.
