Finally a balanced perspective for both sides.
As a practicing Roman Catholic who also works in ministry in the church, this book was a breath of fresh air. I am tired of one issue voting(Republicans) - and the other side(Democrats) does not offer a consistent ethic of life. Jim Wallis speaks to... more

Amazing book for Christians about Politics/Life
As a Christian, I have been very frustrated the last few years regarding the current political situation in the United States, E.U., Canada, etc. This book specifically addresses the political situation in the United States. The author provides his... more

Exercise your free will and read God's Politics
In God's Politics, Jim Wallis demonstrates that the religious right isn't the only Christian voice in American politics - it is simply the loudest. Wallis brings a kinder and gentler perspective which is a refreshing alternative to the mean-spirited... more

Calling all Liberal Christ-ians!
Jim Wallis is an evangelical who knows how to preach to us wounded Liberal Followers-of-Christ who are tempted to sit on our butts and duct-tape our mouths, hoping someone might eventually come along to make us feel better. The way to re-claim Christian... more

Skim it.
While I'm a general supporter of Wallis and Sojourners, I must say that this book has been a significant disappointment.

Falling into repititious cliches of his own making like intellectual hiccups, Wallis has bored me so well that it took... more

A Christian Discussion
As I see it, this book's primary value is the expression of opinions within the Christian religion that counter what the author precieves as the politics of the religious right and left.

I am all for the discussion and presentation of all... more

Written Like an E-Mail
I chose this book because of my keen interest in this topic. I've never heard of the author but he is well published and is a "Fellow" at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. In spite of his credentials, I've never read such a piece of trash.... more

God is a Liberal Democrat
Take the Democratic Party platform, add some rhetoric about how Christianity requires whatever liberals are in favor of this week, mix in a big dose of utopian expectation that everything will work out the way the left wing wants, because after... more

A great book on Christian work in the world
Jim Wallis, the man behind Sojourners, has written a great book on Christian work in the world. He is taking the language of faith away from the religious nuts that seem to scream the loudest and end up getting heard most often. This is a common sense,... more

Promotes Dangerous Pandering of Politicians
This book will appeal to politicians trying to win votes of Christian from the left and possibly the right. Here's some problems with left or right Christians.

They both usually believe in an entity they call "God." This is nothing more... more

Dig Deeper
God's Politics is a book that has the potential to wake up citizens of the USA to better politics through spiritual understanding. I am not a Christian but I believe Jesus was a great spiritual teacher. He was concerned with helping others. Jim Wallis'... more

Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu praises it too
I often asked myself during the last 2004 elections: Wouldn't somebody write something deep about faith and politics from a progressive line of thinking? And then came Jim Wallis with this book, as a timely gift to America. His book is the perfect answer... more

Religion and God...always personal, but never private
Admittedly this is the first time I have read a Jim Wallis book. Considering the tone of the last elections in regards to religion in politics, this is a very timely piece.

Regardless of which side of the political spectrum you lie, Wallis... more

Extremely good for BOTH parties.
Mr. Wallis seems to be that wonderful rarity; a moderate pastor. I am unsure to his political affiliations because I don't believe he has any. He makes a case in this book that what America truly needs are strong leaders, confident in their faith, who... more

"A Seamless Garment of Life"
Either love him or loathe him because you'd have to work hard to be lukewarm about Jim Wallis and his new book, "God's Politics." As his subtitle suggests ("Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It"), Wallis calls for an integrative approach... more

we don't want it
People who are "liberal" are usually also secular and wish religion would go just away. We don't "get it" because there's no point. Why do we need a book that tries to tell us that we need to pass over to the dark side and give up the truth of a scientific... more

A look at what real Christianity is all about.
"God's Politics" is a book that should be read by believers and non-believers alike to see how the Christian message should encompasse all areas of life.
Wallis brilliantly tears apart the Right-wing claim that only those who follow a certain... more

Excellent Book
This is an excellent book and an easy read. Mr. Wallis is a very religious man and this book has a strong Christian theme throughout it (obviously). Mr. Wallis states that being a Christian means caring about the poor and working towards peace. This is... more

Repetitious
Unless you have had your head buried in the sand for the last 5 years this will not be new. If you want a re statement of "values" questions raised in the popular media, don't look for clarity here. Did anyone edit this book, organize it or eliminate... more

Unfortunately the author has got it wrong
Christianity is not a religion that is primarily focused on justice and many of the values that are espoused by the liberal left. Protestants may be focused on such values but they are, as used to be so wonderfully put by the intolerant, heretics. Christianity... more
