Living God's Politics: A Guidebook for Putting Your Faith Into Action

by Jim Wallis

Living God's Politics: A Guidebook for Putting Your Faith Into Action Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

After fifteen weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list, God's Politics not only changed the conversation about faith and politics in this country, it began a movement. All across the country, wherever Jim Wallis spoke, people were frustrated by tax cuts and budgets that widened the gap between rich and poor, aggravated by the government's lack of response to natural disasters, wearied of misinformation and the ongoing war in the Middle East, and exasperated by the impractical political rhetoric about sexual abstinence in lieu of policies that would strengthen more broadly family values and community health.

Folks began asking what they could do to promote peace, economic justice, racial equality, and the sanctity of life. They wanted to know how they could influence government policies to better reflect their moral values. In response, Wallis and the editors of Sojourners magazine offer Living God's Politics, a reader's guide for putting the lessons of God's Politics into action. Who will change our government's policies to better integrate our values? We're the ones we've been waiting for, and this book offers us the tools and techniques to change the political landscape for the better.

Synopsis:

When Jim Wallis, author of New York Times bestselling God's Politics (15 weeks on the list), was on the road talking about his book, people welcomed his prophetic message and then asked what they could do to help. This book would be a guide for the next steps toward building a movement on a personal as well as community grassroots level.
