Blah, Blah, Blah by Bayard Taylor
Not everyone has a religion, but everyone has a worldview - that core set of beliefs through which you interpret your world. From music and media to professors and peers, you're exposed to different worldviews every day, and usually not from a biblical perspective. So how can you engage others in meaningful conversation if you don't know where they're coming from? Forget the doctorate-level jargon. Discussing worldviews doesn't have to be intimidating. This user-friendly book will help you understand where others are coming from - whether they embrace the Haunted worldview, Dueling Yodas, Omnipresent Supergalactic Oneness, WYSIWYG, or Designer Religion. Discover what these terms mean and how their worldview messages have crept into today's culture. You'll become a more confident, effective Christian representative in this increasingly pluralistic world.Bayard Taylor (1825-1878) was an American poet, literary critic, and travel writer. Born in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, he was raised in a wealthy family of Quaker farmers. At 17, he began working as a printer's apprentice and soon turned to poetry under the recommendation of Rufus Wilmot Griswold. Finding success with his first volume, Ximena, or the Battle of the Sierra Morena, and other Poems (1844), Taylor became a prominent travel writer, visiting Europe and sending accounts of his experience to such publications as the Tribune and The Saturday Evening Post. Throughout his career, he traveled to Egypt, Palestine, China, and Japan, interviewing such figures as commodore Matthew Perry and German scientist Alexander von Humboldt. Beginning in 1862, Taylor served for one year as a U.S. diplomat in St. Petersburg, publishing his first novel in 1863. Over the next several years, he traveled across the American west with his wife Maria, publishing Colorado: A Summer Trip (1867), a collection of travel essays. His late work Joseph and His Friend: A Story of Pennsylvania (1870), originally serialized in The Atlantic, was reviewed poorly upon publication, but has since been recognized as America's first gay novel.
