David: What would be on your reading list for some young christian in their twenties who is in this cultural moment and you want to prepare them for the next ten, 15 years of what lies ahead? Pete: There was one book called a severe mercy by sheldon van alken, which is a very beautiful book. And other books were written by dostoyevsky and tolstoy and so a, you know, these were all just, and then a final book, theree a couple others that made faith seem real to me, at least,. my faith didn't seem pathetic.

Joining David and Curtis this week are two of the most influential voices speaking to Christian faith in the public square, David Brooks and Peter Wehner. Both Peter and David recently wrote landmark pieces analyzing the current landscape of American evangelicalism. In this podcast, they discuss the signs of hope and restoration for the troubled movement. Also, in a bit of self-revelation, they share about the books that most influenced their own faith journeys.
