“This book is Darrow Miller’s magnum opus. It captures the urgency of our current civilizational moment, a time for decisive choices leading to either renewal or decline. By teaming up with Naomi Smith, Darrow has developed a unique interactive teaching style that engages readers at multiple levels, from theory to practice. He first walks readers step by step through the process of overcoming the sacred-secular split, then offers action points for living out a transformational biblical worldview. Like all of Darrow’s books, this one is sure to inspire people around the globe.”

“Occupy Till I Come rightly demonstrates the foundational importance of strengthening families. It moves beyond viewing the home as a place of personal retreat. It positions it as a strategic center for cultural formation and kingdom influence by discipling the next generation of culture shapers.”

“Darrow Miller is, without a doubt, one of the leading Christian thinkers of our time, and his work has provided the Church with much-needed understanding about the Great Commission and its cultural dynamics. I can honestly say that his books and teachings have greatly inspired me throughout the years, and I know that this new book will do the same for all who read it. Considering everything that we have been witnessing in culture globally, my prayer is that, as people get in touch with the biblical values exposed in this work, the Lord would truly awaken sons and daughters to their calling as cultural reformers, so that we can see the Kingdom of God being manifested in every area of society.”

“Darrow Miller has been describing, applying, and advancing a Christian worldview for decades now. In that time, he’s been among the most prophetic voices describing ideas and their consequences, for people and for nations. In this book, he demonstrates that what Francis Schaeffer, Chuck Colson, and others predicted has come to pass. What was theoretical a generation ago is now existential. The good news is that the central Truth of the Gospel is not just theoretical. Christ is risen. He is Lord. We are His agents of renewal.”

“Darrow Miller’s books are like a Vitamin B12 shot for the Christian mind. From its first pages, Occupy Till I Come moves well past the gauzy notion of “making a difference” to show that biblical discipleship necessarily entails bringing Christ’s emancipation proclamation to every area of life. It is simultaneously a review of Christian history, a “how-to” manual for having a godly influence, and a glossary of key scriptures and concepts that guide the process. Its wide arc ensures that every reader will find dozens of practical takeaways for not only understanding the times but shaping them.”

“Here is an important contribution to understanding faithful Christian living and our public witness in society. In our polarized times so prone to extremism, Christian temperance and patience are important. God is sovereign, and we must persevere, relying on His grace. This book will help us discern how to proceed with hope and confidence.”

“Just a year after reading Os Guinness’s classic book, Our Civilizational Moment, reading Occupy Till I Come was a stirring follow-up for me. Having traveled to the former Soviet Union for over sixty years, I have been an eyewitness to the tragic consequences of denying the existence of God. The authors are thorough in their analysis of the current dilemma of one world—but two realms—the forces of Jesus Christ and those of our enemy, Satan. They beautifully reveal the spiritual battle that is raging in Western society and the monumental truths that are at risk of being ignored or forgotten. Section III brings us to the great hope we have in Jesus Christ and the furtherance of His Kingdom. This is a helpful and hopeful read for us pilgrims who are seeking to make a difference in a rapidly changing world.”

“What kind of country do you want to live in? One built on truth or one built on lies? One that is free and flourishing or one that is totalitarian and destructive? If you’re concerned by the breakdown of society and are seeking a biblical solution, then read Occupy Till I Come. Darrow Miller and Naomi Smith have written a critical book that every Christian should read. You will learn how Western civilization is being destroyed and what you can do about it. Darrow and Naomi will help you understand how Christianity laid the foundation for Western civilization. They explain how biblical principles lead to human flourishing and help you capture a vision to transform culture beginning in your sphere of influence. The ideas in this book built our country, and they can restore it as well. Pick up a copy today!”

“After decades of working among the world’s poorest while also advocating an approach to discipleship that transforms nations, Darrow Miller brings his message home. The time has come, he says, for Christians to disciple America by creatively and smartly applying biblical truth to every sphere and sector of society. This is a potent prescription for our polarized and pained society.”

“I highly recommend Darrow Miller’s Occupy Till I Come, because it’s not just a book to read, but a blueprint for on-the-job building—or rebuilding—of civilization. It’s more than a strategic plan; it’s a toolbox for taking action, not just for plugging holes in a sinking ship, but for reforming the ship itself, using truly Biblical supports, braces, and beams. That’s an inside-out proposition, for sure, but Miller’s book is more than a proposition. It’s a plumb bob, riveter, and rasp combined. It’s a builder’s guide for engagement. Engagement in God’s First Commission, to govern fully over Planet Earth (Genesis 1:26-28). The whole Earth. Miller’s book is a shipbuilder’s “change order” for business leaders, scientists, educators, civil servants, doctors, plumbers, piano players, and parents—not to mention pastors who can make the difference between a people of God with compelling purpose, or a people of God mindlessly drifting toward rocks.”

“Darrow continues to serve as a consistent voice of wisdom and insight, sounding the alarm for the need for cultural reform and the necessary paradigm shifts to make it happen. Through keen analysis, principle-based answers, and long-term solutions, this book is for every believer who is serious about their walk and their responsibility to fulfill the Great Commission, not just through the gospel of salvation but the full gospel of the Kingdom.”

“We are living in a season of epic cultural upheaval—a clash of worldviews shaping the destiny of nations. In Occupy Till I Come, Darrow and Naomi remind us that creating and stewarding culture from a biblical foundation is not optional—it is a divine mandate. With remarkable clarity and practical wisdom, they equip believers to move beyond rhetoric and embody the Kingdom of God in every sphere of society. The authors unveil how culture functions as the “canary in the coal mine,” revealing the spiritual condition of a people and the degree to which Christ’s rulership is manifested—or resisted—in our world. Their call to “live the proleptic life”—bringing the future Kingdom into present reality—is both convicting and profoundly hopeful. This book is essential reading for leaders, disciple-makers, educators, and parents who long to form a generation that will think biblically, lead courageously, and reform culture with truth and grace. Occupy Till I Come will not only renew your thinking but also awaken your calling to engage the world as a faithful ambassador of Christ’s advancing Kingdom.”

“What a privilege to be able to endorse this book. Coming from a communist background before I came to know the Lord Jesus Christ, I have always been interested in history, politics, the arts, and social transformation. And seeing what has been going on in Western society in the last few decades is astonishing, unbelievable, and heartbreaking. In the name of democracy in Europe, totalitarian governments have been instituted, freedom of speech and freedom of the press have been curtailed, and surveillance policies have been implemented. However, what is more staggering and heartbreaking for me is seeing what has been going on in the United States of America, the only nation in the history of humanity born out of a strong desire to seek God and walk in obedience to His Word. A country whose foundation has been, like no other, based on the principles of the Bible, whose Constitution has no parallel in human history. A nation born out of nothing and risen to be the mightiest empire on earth. This nation has indeed become a cut flower culture. But there is hope because, as Darrow brilliantly says in his book, God can still change people´s hearts, who can then change societies, nations, and cultures. The reading of this book is a must for any Christian whose heart is aching at seeing the demise of a once mighty and magnificent West.”

“Occupy Till I Come serves as a field manual for rising Christian leaders who aspire to know God, stand firm in His Word, and take action in their communities. In his book, Darrow Miller outlines the dangers of ideologies that ignore the Creator and presents the necessary solutions to transform and shape the world for the betterment of all—if we are committed to implementing them.”
