The author faces the fact that Christians are now in the minority is most westernized countries, and much of the rest of the world. As such we live in a secular society with a desire for pleasure and a fear of boredom. How do Christians survive? And how do they strive for Christian values? Drawing upon Ecclesiastes - \"one of the most modern books in the entire Scripture\" - he advocates that Christians would move society closer to Christian values if Christians met unbelievers where they (the unbelievers) are, and if Christians were prepared to settle for \"better\" solutions ... rather than going for the \"best\" or \"nothing\" scenario.
