Here is a new mini-book series from the Barna Group research firm and Zondervan Publishers. According to Barna Group president David Kinnaman, "Cultural analysis is the new apologetic. Frames will equip people to think differently about their lives in the midst of a complex, accelerated, digit-Babylon-like world, with practical ideas that will help them make sense of the times and their calling."
"David Kinnaman and Barna Group are the perfect partner to pioneer this fresh model for publishing and to bring readers this elegant fusion of custom research, lush digital assets, and terrific authors to help readers understand and even shape the zeitgeist even while improving their personal lives, " said Chip Brown, senior vice-president and publisher at Zondervan, adding "It is especially exciting to be building a platform to help new and aspiring authors contribute to the shaping of culture."
