Overview

Today's pundits of political correctness have decreed it inappropriate to talk about the Bible in the public marketplace. Those who do are often vilified and stamped as a religious fanatic. But, even worse is to discuss the Bible and politics in the same conversation. So why, you might ask, would anyone want to publicly tackle two controversial subjects, simultaneously? Whereas religion and politics impact each of us, to ignore either is to risk being manipulated and controlled by their apostles. In The Bible and Politics: Weaving Biblical Principles Into Politics, humor is the delivery vehicle chosen to approach contentious issues involving Washington politics. By intertwining biblical principles with quotes from famous people, the Bible becomes the established plumb line in the political arena. Includes quotes from Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Groucho Marx, LBJ, Bill Clinton, Ambrose Bierce, W.C. Fields, Jim Hightower, Mark Twain, Will Rogers, Golda Meir, John F. Kennedy, Milton Friedman, Plato, Alexander Hamilton, Noam Chomsky, Niccolo Machiavelli, Margaret Thatcher, Thomas Jefferson, Doug Larson, Henry Kissinger, Harry Truman, Yogi Berra, Aesop, John Adams, Alexander de Tocqueville, Cal Thomas, R.J. O'Rourke, Lord Acton, Dick Gregory, Khalil Gibran, Daniel Hannan, Thurgood Marshall, Lewis Black, Charles de Gaulle, Bill Cosby, William Randolph, Robert Orben, Napoleon Bonaparte, Erich Fromm, Bernard Baruch, John Kenneth Galbraith, Stewart Udall, Theodore Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Hubert Humphrey, Pericles, Paul Valery, Benjamin Disraeli, Robert Byrd, Jesse Jackson, Robert Louis Stevenson, Edmond Burke, Karl Von Clausewitz, Donald Rumsfeld, John Jay Chapman, Ann Richards, Henry Adams, Kinky Friedman, Otto Von Bismarck, Walter Landor, Richard B. Sheridan, Eric Sevareid, Robert Byrne, George Bernard Shaw, Voltaire, Donald Trump, Jay Leno, Byron Cranston, Reinhold Niebuhr, and Vladimir Lenin.

The Bible & Politics is enormously refreshing to me personally, and professionally. The directness of the author in talking about some of the most significant challenges in our nation today is encouraging and powerful. Walt has shared a message that should guide the readers to understand what is necessary to change the direction of our country. The message is so very simple in that it is about us being a Christian nation and overcoming the deadliness of political correctness. --COL (Ret.) Danny R. McKnight, US Army Author and National Motivational Speaker Religion and Politics are two subjects that don't usually mix well, and often best avoided in polite company, so they say. But, Walt Manning tackles them head on, bringing them together in The Bible and Politics. Full of appropriate scripture verses, and famous quotes, no punches are pulled, as the seamy side of the political process is exposed. This is a must read for any Christian disillusioned with the political process, but full of faith in the God who redeems this world.--Dr. Dave Weldon, Former US Congressman, Florida The piece of literature you're about to read is no I'll fly my flag; you fly the same one, or I will have to shoot you kind of journalism...this book is different, very different. When I finished it, I felt like I had been given a huge helping of sanity. With more than fifteen splendid books to his credit, Walt has to be one of the best, unknown authors around. He has no problem letting the reader know where he stands, but he skillfully avoids talking down to his readers, even to those who hold an opposite view.--Jack Taylor, President Dimensions Ministries Warning! This book can be thought provoking, and thinking can lead to intelligent action. Here's an idea... buy one for each of your elected representatives in Congress.--Ben Kinchlow, Former Co-Host of the 700 Club
