Be Intolerant
In "Be Intolerant," Ryan Dobson takes a look at taking a stand against moral relativism. While I agree that Christian's need to see that our faith and moral relativism don't mix this book doesn't do well with explaining why. His argument comes across as over simplistic and very clicked. It winds up reading like an angry rant.
Moral relativism (what's wrong to me may be right for you) doesn't hold up and Christians need to make sure that they share and speak with love are the two basics of this book and a good starting point but never really gets out of the gate. Unfortunately, the way the argument is presented will only add to the feeling that Christians are a bigoted lot.

Unfortunately this problem doesn't get near the attention from Christians that it ought. In my opinion, moral relativism is the ultimate brain cancer; and it's eating away at our minds, our churches and sadly, our youth. I teach at a small Christian school full of "good" kids who think that God's truth is good for them, but when it comes time to confront sin... they sidle out the back door under the false pretense of "if-it-works-for-you" apathy. Might as well paint a bulls-eye on this issue, because I'm aiming at it like it's a bear about to tear our kids apart, because that is exactly what it is doing spiritually.
