A Shining City on a Higher Hill: Christianity and the Next New World - Paperback

by James D. Heiser (Author)

"Any future culture must witness a restoration of the role of the sacred within the lives of its people, or it will share the spiritual ills of our present culture. A renewed culture, rooted in the love of neighbor and a zeal for the truth-especially zeal for the One who is Truth-will be truly ready for the new frontier."

The Rt. Rev. James D. Heiser is a founding member of the Mars Society, and a member of the society's Board of Directors and Steering Committee. He is the Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Diocese of North America (ELDoNA).
