John Barrett draws from the Old and New Testaments to answer the question: How can the church reconcile the Great Commission with the fact that politics has been and always will be an ugly, often violent, affair. . . . I enthusiastically recommend this book for Christians, people of all faiths, those with no faith, students from secondary through graduate level, and the public. It is enlightening and a pleasure to read. --William A. Mitchell, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Baylor University; Colonel (retired), United States Air Force I recommend this book for all those interested in politics, particularly those who are believers. It will demonstrate clearly to you how difficult your job will be to follow God and also perform admirably in your chosen office. Well-written and very helpful. --Richard C. Crawford, Former Mayor of Tulsa, Oklahoma John has thoughtfully and skillfully brought a serious issue, politics, into the light! There are many Christians who long for these insights and perspectives on the proper role and voice for a Christian to play. This short epistle should be read by one and all as it shines a clear light onto a serious topic and it gives an honest answer! --Steve Largent, US House of Representatives, 1994-2002; member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame
