› Find signed collectible books: 'The American Hour: A Time of Reckoning and the Once and Future Role of Faith'Book summary:"In "The American Hour", Guinness examines the growing crisis in America's moral and cultural order. In particular, he explores its impact on three areas which he considers vital to the health of America: on identity, as in the currently contested notion of what it means to be an American; on American public philosophy, including the now controversial relationship of religion and public life; and on American republican character, including the distinctive emphasis on the importance of the "habits of the heart". Guinness goes on to set forth a vision of a reforged public philosophy, one through which we can solve the practical questions of living with our deepest differences. He also sees the possibility of a new, vital and constructive role for religion in American public life. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Case for Civility: And Why Our Future Depends on It'Book summary:In a world torn apart by religious extremism on the one side and a strident secularism on the other, no question is more urgent than how we live with our deepest differencesespecially our religious and ideological differences. The Case for Civility is a proposal for restoring civility in America as a way to foster civility around the world. Influential Christian writer and speaker Os Guinness makes a passionate plea to put an end to the polarization of American politics and culture thatrather than creating a public space for real debatethreatens to reverse the very principles our founders set into motion and that have long preserved liberty, diversity, and unity in this country.
Guinness takes on the contemporary threat of the excesses of the Religious Right and the secular Left, arguing that we must find a middle ground between privileging one religion over another and attempting to make all public expression of faith illegal. If we do not do this, Guinness contends, Western civilization as we know it will die. Always provocative and deeply insightful, Guinness puts forth a vision of a new, practical "civil and cosmopolitan public square" that speaks not only to America's immediate concerns but to the long-term interests of the republic and the world.

Prophetic Untimeliness: A Challenge to the Idol of Relevanceby OS GuinnessISBN 0801012600 (0-8010-1260-0)
Hardcover, Baker Pub Group

› Find signed collectible books: 'Prophetic Untimeliness: A Challenge to the Idol of Relevance'Book summary:The buzz among evangelicals today is about relevance and reinvention, about new ways of "doing church" through revising, innovating, borrowing, mixing, and experimenting. Yet, says Os Guinness, in our uncritical pursuit of relevance, Christians have actually become irrelevant. By our determined efforts to redefine ourselves in ways that are more in line with the modern world than are faithful to Christ, we have lost not only our identity but our authority and significance. Prophetic Untimeliness addresses this issue by giving practical, constructive solutions for living with integrity in the midst of modern pressures. Guinness explores what it means to be both faithful and relevant, and how to be truly relevant without being trivial or trendy. Readers will be challenged to develop "resistance thinking," an approach inspired by C. S. Lewis that balances the uncomfortable truths of the gospel with the pursuit of relevance. Only by being true to Christ and living with integrity and wisdom will we meet the needs of a world that is hungry for some really good news. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Time for Truth: Living Free in a World of Lies, Hype, and Spin'Book summary:One word of truth outweighs the entire world. So said Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the former Soviet Unions one-man dissident movement whose courageous stand for truth helped topple his countrys machinery of propaganda, deception, and terror.
But in the West today it appears that truth in any objective form is dead. At best it is relative and at worst it is created. Where does this leave us?
In Time for Truth Os Guinness argues that truth is far from deadnot only is it alive and well, but it is undeniable and far from inconsequential. Truth matters supremely, he says, because without truth there is no freedom. In fact, truth is freedom, and the only way to live a free life is to become a person of truth.
Guinness examines the crisis of truth and explores the personal, practical, and public considerations of becoming people of truth. Living in truth has consequences on many areas of life, including politics, scholarship, and business. But it begins and ends with the personalwith each of us as who we really are. [via]
