“A thoughtful and thought-provoking book, Culture Making explores the relationship between Christians and culture. Not a book just for artists, nor a book about why the Church should support artists, Culture Making encourages all Christians to actively create culture by creating cultural artifacts and making something of the world. Crouch doesn't call individuals to some broad task of changing the world because culture making first happens in our own circles--family, business, neighborhoods. While Crouch recognizes the postures of critique and condemnation as necessary at times, he entreats Christians to responsibility, active responsiveness, and creativity. If you haven't read this book yet, buy, borrow, or steal it.”

“Once in a great while, a book comes along that every thoughtful Christian ought to read. This is one of those books. In a breezy, fresh, winsome style, Andy Crouch brings brilliant insight and practical application to bear on one of the great questions facing the church in the 21st Century: how do we make or remake or restore or renew our culture to bring it into greater conformity with the kingdom of God?

Bringing a fresh and realistic perspective to idealistic believers who want to "change the world," Crouch gives some really useful guidance into two big areas of concern: how the culture actually changes, and what role a normal person (who is not, say, Princess Diana) can have in changing it. His analysis is sharp and hopeful at the same time. I have a feeling I am going to be giving away many copies of this book in the next few years. Bravo, Andy! ”
“I'm loving Krouchs take on the meaning of culture: what we make of the world. Great thinking about why Christians are called to create. ”
