I strongly recommend this book to anyone looking for a deeper understanding of our nation's most contentious debates, and to all Christians who are seeking to square their feelings about this country with the tenets of their faith."<br />--<b>JIM WALLIS, </b> New York Times best-selling author, president of Sojourners, and editor-in-chief of <i>Sojourners</i> magazine</p><br><br><p>"David Gushee is one of our most searching and important voices for public theology. He defies Christian stereotypes and divisions that have played a part in dividing America in so many other ways. And this book is a road map for discerningly, faithfully claiming the promise and redemption that are possible in this tumultuous national moment."<br />--<b>KRISTA TIPPETT, </b> <i>On Being</i> and <i>The Civil Conversations Project</i></p><br><br><p>"David Gushee is one of the best Christian ethicists alive today. This is his manifesto to America . . . written like a love letter to the empire."<br />--<b>SHANE CLAIBORNE, </b> speaker, activist, and author of <i>Executing Grace</i></p><br><br><p>"It is hard in our increasingly polarized society to find a straightforward description of things. This is the great gift of Gushee's book. In a time of heightened anxiety and confusion, Gushee cuts through the divisive language and ideologies that saturate our political context and provides much-needed clarity on the issues we face. His brief but comprehensive reflections serve as a starting point for Christians to find common ground with one another and make a productive contribution to public life."<br />--<b>JENNIFER M. McBRIDE, </b> Associate Dean for Doctor of Ministry Programs and Continuing Education and Assistant Professor of Theology and Ethics, McCormick Theological Seminary</p><br><br>"David Gushee is one of America's finest public theologians, and this letter to fearful Christians shows why. He analyzes issues with political intelligence and biblical acumen, offering readers a way to move away from fear toward a deeper faithfulness. But what makes this book shine is his heart--as each page beats with love for the church, his neighbors, and, yes, even America. The message is simple: things may be changing, but a gracious God is with us. And that is good news indeed."<br />--<b>DIANA BUTLER BASS, </b> author of <i>Grounded: Finding God in the World--A Spiritual Revolution </i></p><br>
