What's Your Worldview?: An Interactive Approach to Life's Big Questions

This is a really good book. Not only is it concise, informative, and well written, it’s actually quite fun to read it! Anderson was done something that few authors have done — a book that’s for everyone. This is literally such a book, no matter what worldview you may hold, you will find this book helpful and informative.The concept of the book is very simple, make a decision at every section and at the end of it all, you will find out what worldview you have. At the ‘end’ of each route, you will have a summary of the worldview and also a quick evaluation of its strength and weakness of the particular worldview.Anderson should be praised for the comprehensive scope of the number of worldviews covered, each and every summary Anderson almost always points out succinctly some of the problems of each worldview.This is a great book for christians who wants to share with people of other faiths (or with no particular faiths). This would help the christian have a brief understanding of what others believe, and also what are some things that the Christian can ask in response to what they believe. Sure these are not silver-bullet questions, but I do think they are able to good conversion starters. It would also be good christians to give to non-christians who wants to know what kind a worldview he has, and whether he is able to live consistent with his belief.Rating: 4.75/5

This was an excellent read, it cause one to think about how I view the world ultimately determines how I live my life, more importantly how I understand GOD and who He is frames how I view the world this book helps in causing one to reassess my thinking and to think more critically, an art form we have sorely lost the ability to do. This book has caused me to think more critically and be more aware of thing outside of my little realm of existence. I recommend sharing this with your middle schoolers and young adults in your life, matter of fact I gave my copy to my cousins daughter as a graduation gift from high school, she's a bright young lady I'm sure she'll put it to good use.

Point: Your worldview is the lens through which you see and interpret everything, and that is a big enough reason to question whether you have the correct worldview or not.Path: Anderson takes his readers through a “Choose your own adventure” evaluation of truth, questions, and worldviews. In this journey he asks questions in order to point out difficulties and advantages to each way of viewing life, death, and the purpose of existence. At the end of the book he gives an evaluation of each worldview and an appendix which takes the reader to the “what’s next” questions.Sources: In order to keep his book readable and engaging, Anderson purposely does very little with footnotes. However, this does not mean that the book doesn’t engage with others. This short book is a great springboard into being intellectually honest with ourselves.Agreement: I enjoyed this book. Its simple, yet worldview-rattling, message was something that greatly appealed to me. There are many people who I plan on recommending this book to.Personal App: Am I thinking and acting consistent with my worldview?Favorite Quote: “Even so, Theists often point out to their Atheist critics that they’d much rather face the lesser problem of accounting for evil than the greater problem of accounting for both good and evil!” (Anderson, Worldview, Kindle 611)It would be worth another read and I would recommend it to someone who:wants to evaluate their own worldviewwants to engage with others about their worldviewwants to think and live more consistentlyOther books along this theme would be:Carson, D.

Basic book. Very easy and fast read. Makes you think about what you think about God. Not as detailed as it thought. The world view you end up with at the end of the book is dependent on how you answer the questions. It is not what I expected.

The author uses some of the worst logical fallacies to try to convince you to become a Christian. The cover nor the introduction state the true purpose of the book. You are simply ambushed with pseudo-philosophy. A very disingenuous approach to discussing truth. NOT for the intelligent reader.

Eve in the Garden of Eden had a world view. She believed a lie. So yes, what you believe does matter. For the Christian it can be difficult because so many secular world views have made their way into a bibical worldview. Reading this interactive book was surprising and revealing.You start by answering a yes and no question. Depending on your answer, will lead to another question or to what your view is. You are encouraged to read what each worldview is and how it relates to Christanity. This is most helpful and needed book for Christians.

Really a great book for the learned or less so---they comprise all that is necessary to understand the worldviews out there and why a theistic one is the best choice.I greatly recommend its format which allows you to follow your own view--eg,atheistic to its ultimate conclusion and validity if such exists.Hope you ll get it to see where you fit in.Very readable for all ages.

this is a phenomenal... work through your thinking book.... great thinking exercises...!! I am often a lazy reader... feed me .... but this book was engaging and easy to get involved with.

What a surprise this little book was. It may be short but it is extremely helpful in understanding the different worldviews out there as-well as some of their strengths and weaknesses. The most quirky thing about the book is the way its presented and expected to be read, no page 1-100 here. It's set up like one of those children's adventure books where you navigate through the book determining where you want to go moving back and forth, and then start again if you wish to.It's well written, clear and a good book to pass on to a non-Christian friend and will be a great tool for further discussion. Well worth the investment and can be read in two sittings.

Creative approach to the topic. Well wrriten - easy read.

The author concedes that his book offers summaries that are simplified, but he doesn't think that the book is thereby simplistic. I think I'd agree. This is a book that moves quickly and in broad strokes to expose the weakness of some world-views and the strength of what remains (at least against those issues). It works well.As long as you understand and appreciate the concept, this book is exceptional. I'd highly recommend it - particularly to teenagers who are, I think, the target audience.

Great way to ask the important questions of non-Christians and getting them to see how untenable is their position!
