"My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest
concern is to be on God's side."--Abraham
Lincoln
Lincoln led America through one of the
most tumultuous times in our nation's history. Reading his
words today, it is clear we still have much to learn
concerning what it means to be on God's
side.
Bestselling author, public theologian, and
leading Christian activist Jim Wallis speaks directly into
our current context, revealing the spiritual compass we need
to effect lasting change in our society. He explains how the
good news of Jesus transforms not only our individual lives
but also our public lives. Jesus's gospel of the kingdom of
God helps us recover a personal and social commitment to the
common good and shows us--in concrete ways--how to be both
personally responsible and socially just. Working together,
we can reshape our churches, society, politics, and
economy.
Releasing in the wake of the 2012 election
cycle, this book seeks to move beyond the current media and
political warfare and bring together a divided country.
Wallis explores how Jesus's agenda can serve the common
good, what it takes to sustain a lifelong commitment to
social justice, and how reading the Bible as well as the
culture can shape our lives for genuine transformation.
