Pop Goes the Wizard
For me, reading this book was like watching Dorothy's dog, Toto, pull the curtain to reveal that the Wizard of Oz was just a little man turning knobs and throwing levers. Many Christians are cowering in fear before the smoke, fire, and thundering intimidation of today's pop culture, while the world, the flesh, and the devil are urging us to pay no attention to the little man behind the curtain. Redeeming Pop Culture fearlessly pulls back the curtain and shows us that there’s nothing to fear. Better yet, we can reach out to and redeem pop culture with the confidence that God is our Father and this is our Father's world. In this postmodern era we're definitely "not in Kansas anymore", but the Author is still big enough to use even pop culture to help us and our students find our way Home.
