I was disappointed that this entire book was not written by MacArthur. I didn't read the fine print under his name on the cover. The chapter on homosexuality is irrelevant. The author doesn't allude to any data he may have used for his comments. It seems to be based on his opinion alone; seemingly without the input of any gay people whatsoever.

This is a good book for those looking for some quick answers. Not a great deal of depth, but excellent generally. I would disagree, however, with MacArthur's strong attitudes toward homosexuals. He says that their feelings are a sin. I would agree that acting out is a sin, and feelings need to be dealt with. But just as a person lusts for anything, is that a sin in itself? We have to fight against these, but thoughts come unbidden. Ex. Jesus in the wilderness.

I highly recommend this book as it's an excellent book that will challenge Christians to think biblically about today's toughest issues. Each chapter is very well written and has lead to some great discussions for a small group.

John MaCArthur is one of my favorite authors. I have also been listening to his preachings and teachings for 20 years. I trust anything that he writes because he has proven himself a right-thinking, bible-based Christian. This book is one that I will share with as many people as possible because of its solid biblical worldview.

I'm not even half way through this book, and I can't put it down! Everything I read, I'm saying, "Yes, Lord!" "Thank you John Macarthur!" This book is for young, old, male, female, married, single and everyone in between. I think every beleiver should read this book. I love how after each argument for or against something, Dr. Macarthur gives you the reference for where to find it in the scripture. It's not just a book of his opinions on these things; the answers are found in God's Holy Word.

This book is one of the best that I have read on the problems in society today. Everything covered is backed by scripture and what it actually means to us today. I would recommend to anybody to read this very closely. The main part is written by John MacArthur and the other parts are written by ministers who have gone through some of things that they write about. Great Book.

This Country is desperate for God to raise up more men like John MacArthur who have a heart after HIM. John tackles the issues no one wants to talk about. Great book.

A must read for today's Christians and Christian parents! MacArthur is stunningly accurate with both his description of a world gone wrong and his biblical references that he quotes for (the readers) growth in faith wisdom. "Right Thinknig in a World Gone Wrong" is a well written, captivating book that will remain with its' readers for years to come. A wealth of information, couldn't put the book down.

A great book! It addresses many issues that are often overlooked and possibly avoided by many churches and preachers. Each topic is addressed from a Biblical perspective. It is very challenging. I recommend it to all.

This is well written and very timely.Ethics have taken a back seat in many Christian circles and sadly, pragmatism has taken over.

As a contributor to this book, I am admittedly biased. But I thought a few remarks might prove useful to anyone considering it. First, this book is unique in that it addresses a wide range of contemporary issues in a practical fashion from a biblical (and pastoral) perspective. It is not just another ethics textbook (nor was it ever intended to be). Rather, it was written by our pastoral staff with the intent being to show how biblical principles apply to the issues that Christians face everyday. The book is born out of real-world ministry experience, as we attempted to apply biblical principles to real life. Second, the book is intended to be a concise treatment of the topics addressed. Full books could be written on many of the topics we addressed. Our goal was not to do that, but rather to give a succinct and hands-on treatment of each of the issues. As a result, topics like abortion, euthanasia, birth control, homosexuality, global warming, illegal immigration and the like are addressed in a concise manner. In this way, the book serves as somewhat of a handbook on the issues. Our church's hope (in putting this book together) was that it would be a practical resource for pastors and lay-people alike, as they seek to exalt Christ by exhibiting "right thinking in a world gone wrong."
