This book is for any person, young or older, new or even mature born-again, faith-based believers, people who have come to the point where they have found themselves stagnant and needing to make a decision whether they want to stay as they are, or proceed through a process of change and transformation, growing and building their relationship further with Jesus.This book is directed at people who may be at a crossroad in their life, perhaps unsure of the future and holding back in growing or moving forward, and in need of some direction. The author makes the comparison between us, as humans, to the transformation process of a caterpillar, and how similar the change is, as well as the stages that we go through when we purpose ourselves to actually step into a place where we can be changed in God from Glory to Glory.

There are many questions for thoughtful Christians in a society such as Australia to explore:What are the challenges of living in a pluralist society?On what grounds can we trust the accounts of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus?Does Christian discipleship make the world a better place?What are the implications of Christian faith for social justice, the kind of leaders we support, for presenting beliefs in schools, for involvement in sport?How should Christians regard the use of evidence, the problem of hidden agendas, the significance of self-esteem?David Hickman explores such questions, drawing on personal experience and on the work of some significant writers such as Peter Berger, CS Lewis, John Stott, Hubert Butterfield and Richard Niebuhr, as well as Australian writers such as John Dickson, Tim Costello, Naomi Reed and Brian Hill. He adds his own insights from research and teaching in the areas of Sociology and History, as well as reading of Christian apologetics and biographies of Christians, and relevant Scripture. His perspective can be broadly classed as evangelical Christian, while acknowledging the variety of views among evangelical Christians about some of the matters discussed.
