There's also a useful discussion guide that will help you and your friends put shoe leather to your faith.

Bob Briner believes evangelical Christian thought, ideas, and ideals are not shaping American society. In fact, he feels solid Christian thinking seldom is part of the important discussions and debates of our culture. There's very little "salt" in the popular press, almost none on television, only a grain or two in modern literature and the visual arts, and barely a dash in movies. In the culture-shaping arenas of our society - those areas that influence how we think and act - Christians have abdicated their role as salt and light.
Is this just the way it's supposed to be? Should Christians be content with a society that glorifies the profane and welcomes the immoral? "No way," says Briner. His book is a call for Christians to become "roaring lambs" - men and women who believe the Christian faith is relevant to all the problems faced by modern man and who still act on that conviction.
Briner believes it's wrong to criticize Hollywood, the press, television, the arts, and the publishing business for the immoral and irreverent views they espouse. Without Christians working shoulder to shoulder with these "culture shapers," how can we expect them to accept and promote Judeo-Christian values? Instead of protests and boycotts, the way to clean up these industries is to join them. Christian writers need to write decent novels to replace the trashy ones. Christian filmmakers and supporting investors need to make wholesome, honorable movies to compete against the filth that comes out of Hollywood. And for those who may never be in a position to "roar" at this level, we can all encourage our children to pursue careers that will enable them to help shape culture.
This book is more than a critique of Christian influence in the world. It is a strategy for re-entering the world for God and His Kingdom. Using personal anecdotes from his own experience as an Emmy-award-winning roaring lamb, the author will offer ways for Christians to jump back into the fray. He will show that you don't have to be the CEO of Warner Bros. to be a roaring lamb; you just need to begin believing that Christian faith and teaching belong in every arena of public discourse.
Read the book, then clear your throat. It's time for the lambs to roar!

From the Back Cover
By being roaring lambs, that’s how.
Roaring lambs? They’re Christians--your high school students--who leave the Christian ghetto and take the salt of the gospel with them into mainstream culture.
This six-session curriculum shows students how to decompartmentalize their faith--to intentionally bring their faith out of the youth room and let it saturate all aspects of their lives--schools, jobs, friends, romance, home, and more--to be a Christ-follower, rather than merely do Christ-things. With topics like this:
Bleeding Hearts in Bleating Sheep. Unless your love of God is transformed into outward behavior, you’re only a bleating sheep instead of a roaring lamb.
Welcome to the Ghetto. Are you in a Christian-programmed culture--a Christian ghetto? Then tear down the walls so you can see the world and the world can see you.
Welcome to the World. You’re not in Kansas anymore. Here’s the difference between being in the world and being of the world.
The Salt of the Earth. In praise of a high-sodium diet. You’re the flavoring and preservative of the world!
Careers 101. Will the real Christians please stand up? Pastors and missionaries are not the only ones who serve God.
The curriculum includes a music CD (produced by Squint Entertainment) of all-new songs from top CCM artists, including Jars of Clay . . . Sixpence None the Richer . . . Burlap to Cashmere . . . Delirious . . . Ashley Cleveland . . . Steven Curtis Chapman . . . Michael W. Smith . . . Ladysmith Black Mambazo . . . Over the Rhine . . . and more.
For youth workers, Sunday school teachers, small-group leaders, camp counselors, DREs, pastors--anyone who wants to help teenage Christians take their faith out of the youth room and into the world. And become roaring lambs.
Inspired by the Bob Briner best-seller Roaring Lambs
