Non-Fiction Religion
For too long, religion
has been a political plaything of the right-wing in this
country.
American churches seem more concerned with what people do
with their
bodies than with their souls. Now, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend
issues a
spiritual call to arms to those who feel like her that today's
churches--Catholic and Protestant alike--are failing to
promote the
welfare of those who depend upon them. After recounting her
personal
story in one of the most prominent Catholic families in
America, she
shows how America's neediest are now forgotten while their
churches
fight political battles against abortion rights and homosexual
marriages. She provides hope through powerful examples of
individuals
effecting change, from obscure social workers to The
Purpose-Driven®
Life's Rick Warren, and maintains that our individual
actions can
return our churches to their traditional role as shepherds
to their
flock.
