Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

President Jimmy Carter offers a passionate defense of separation of church and state. He warns that fundamentalists are deliberately blurring the lines between politics and religion.

As a believing Christian, Carter takes on issues that are under fierce debate — women's rights, terrorism, homosexuality, civil liberties, abortion, the death penalty, science and religion, environmental degradation, nuclear arsenals, preemptive war, and America's global image.

Review:

"Our Endangered Values cannot be safely ignored."

-- The Wall Street Journal

Review:

"Carter offers an unusual combination: a man of faith and a man of power....By adding his own voice to the discussion, Carter reminds us of a time when religion was tied to such virtues as humility and such practices as soul-searching...he is undoubtedly one of our finest human beings."

-- Alan Wolfe, The Washington Post Book World

Review:

"Carter has come to the defense of our national values. We need a voice from the not-so-distant past, and this quiet voice strikes just the right notes."

-- Garry Wills, The New York Review of Books

I am not religious but I am a fervent believer in the social justice modeled by Jimmy Carter and Jim Wallis.

I've long admired Jimmy Carter's sense of morality and fairness as well as his amazing intellect. Reading this book gave me more insight into the true costs and meaning of the decisions of the current government.

I ache for Carter when I realize how often he forsees the consequences of a planned policy but despite all of his efforts it goes forward. I understand what is happening at the time but he KNOWS it is going to happen.

We can all learn from his wisdom and his pain.
