You’re trying to live a faithful Christian life, but the world around you is changing at a dizzying pace. The values you hold sacred are not just ignored; they are celebrated as evil and condemned as hate. You feel increasingly like a stranger in your own homeland, a foreigner navigating a landscape that is both familiar and profoundly alien.
You’re told to either conquer the culture through political power or retreat from it into a holy huddle. But both paths feel like a betrayal of your calling. So what do you do? How do you live when you no longer belong?
Your field guide to faithful living in a world gone mad has arrived.
A Stranger in Babylon: A Call to Faithful Exile in an Idolatrous Age is not another book bemoaning the end of civilization. It is a profound, hope-filled, and urgently needed manifesto for every Christian who feels the tension of modern life. This is a deep, diagnostic, and powerfully practical blueprint for how to not only survive but thrive as a citizen of Heaven while living in the heart of a fallen world.
Within these pages, you will discover:
- The Hidden Gods of the Modern Age: Learn to name the new pantheon of idols—from the cult of the Self to the gods of Power, Pleasure, and Profit—that demand your worship every single day.
- The Unchanging Pattern of a Nation’s Fall: See how the ancient cycle of rebellion that toppled Israel is replaying in our own time, and understand exactly what we are witnessing.
- The "Jeremiah 29" Strategy for Exiles: Uncover the biblical model for being deeply engaged in your community without giving it your ultimate allegiance. This is the powerful third path between sell-out assimilation and cowardly isolation.
- A Spirituality for the Furnace: Develop the spiritual disciplines of discernment, lament, and renewed thinking that will allow your faith to withstand the heat of cultural pressure.
- The Church as an Alternative City: Learn how your local community of believers can become a radiant "city on a hill," modeling the economics, politics, and sexual ethics of the Kingdom of God in stunning, tangible contrast to the world.
- An Unshakable, Certain Hope: Ground your life not in the shifting sands of politics or cultural trends, but in the triumphant, final vision of a New Jerusalem and the catastrophic fall of every rival kingdom.
This is not a call to win a culture war. It is a call to a steady, resilient, and joyful defiance. It is a call to stand, even if you stand alone, trusting that the King is in the furnace with you.
If you are weary of fear, frustrated by simplistic answers, and hungry for a faith that is deep, durable, and radiantly different…
…then your journey toward faithful exile begins here.
Praise for A STRANGER IN BABYLON:
“A masterwork for our times. This is the most comprehensive, biblically saturated, and pastorally wise guide to living Christianity in a post-Christian world that I have ever encountered. It will be the defining text on this topic for a generation.”
Stop feeling lost and start living like the faithful exile you are called to be.
Buy your copy of A Stranger in Babylon today and discover the courage to stand.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
