Finally.
Someone is saying it. Someone is describing the issues from my point of view: a consistent ethic of life that’s against war, the death penalty, abortion and euthanasia, while caring for the poor and the oppressed. It puts most of politics under a moral umbrella, and calls us to something deeper.
Finally. And if a candidate held the views in this book, I’d vote for that person a hundred times over. I just haven’t found that person.
As a Xer, I’m typically cynical, particularly of big institutions and politics. I’d rather be apolitical, quite frankly. But this book’s inspired me to re-engage, not as some puppet to a particular candidate or party, but to speak prophetically into our government’s policies and call for correction, if needed.
My only criticism is that the author seems to be somewhat self-congratulatory at times, often including letters he’s written or advertisements he’s published. It’s like a scrapbook of all he’s done.
But especially in an election year, it’s a must read. But perhaps Wallis’ latest release, The Great Awakening, will be even better.
