• Sommario/riassunto: This ebook consists of a summary of the ideas, viewpoints and facts presented by Rod Parsley in his book "Culturally Incorrect: How Clashing Worldviews Affect Your Future". This summary offers a concise overview of the entire book in less than 30 minutes reading time. However this work does not replace in any case Rod Parsley book.<br>Parsley points out that Christianity was one of the reasons of America's greatness. He also believes that Christianity must evolve in order to tackle the political challenges and resist the actual attacks.<br>
