Be Intolerant: Because Some Things Are Just Stupid
by Ryan Dobson Jefferson Scott"Whatever" is now the password into civilized youth culture. Alarming numbers of Christians eighteen to twenty-five years old believe that there is no such thing as absolute truth. Yet, Ryan Dobson proclaims, we can't even function if we believe that everything is relative. In his first book, the impassioned youth speaker explains God's establishment of absolutes, using relevant examples to awaken Christians to the world's desperate hunger for absolute truth -- and the church's duty to proclaim it. OUR GENERATION IS BEING DESTROYED BY RAMPANT TOLERANCE. Somebody's cheating at school? "Well, that's his business. " Your roommate wants an abortion? "I wouldn't do it, but hey, it's her life. " Accepting everything means you believe in nothing. When it comes to right and wrong, sitting on the fence won't get you-or the people you love-anywhere. Passiveness is not love. Love is getting in people's face and telling them the truth. Finally, someone has the courage to point out that some ideas are simply stupid. Honest and unflinching, Ryan Dobson will show you how to back up your beliefs and be intolerant-in love.

The writing in Be Love Now is as fresh and charged with insight as the earlier one.” —Los Angeles Times“If the West even approaches enlightenment in the Twenty-first Century, there’s no way to overestimate the role of Ram Dass in making it happen. He planted seeds that turned into a million trees; if and when they blossom, they will exude the fragrance of his teaching forever.” —Marianne Williamson“Be Love Now reveals the true meaning of yoga, the union of the open heart—this is required reading for anyone who follows a path of devotion.” —Daniel Goleman, New York Times–bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence
