The 2008 election is shaping up to be one of the most important political contests in American history. In fact, Dr. D. James Kennedy believes it will be a watershed moment that could impact our very survival as a nation under God. Values voters–people whose political views and votes are based on their faith in God–are being targeted as never before. As we move forward in the campaign season, the significant players will debate terrorism, radical Islam, nuclear threats, global warming, social issues, gay marriage, immigration, education, health care, and many other essential issues that can create sharp ideological divisions. Into this overwhelmingly complex political situation, Dr. Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe bring a clear, compelling, and nonpartisan exploration of what God’s Word has to say on these critical matters. How Would Jesus Vote? isn’t intended to tell you which candidates to support; rather it offers you a Christ-centered understanding of the world to help you draw your own political conclusions. This election, don’t cast an uninformed vote that fails to reflect your values. Instead, learn how to apply your faith and obedience to God to your ballot. This timely, helpful, and hopeful book will enable you to do just that.

Who Would Jesus Vote For gets to the heart of the matter of how Christians should be voting. Realizing that there are still many Christians who simply vote the wrong way or not at all, Matt Henderson felt compelled to show why Jesus would indeed take the time to vote, and that He would vote a particular way. Laying out the case based on principles from the Bible, Matt Henderson shows you which political party would capture Jesus' vote. In this unapologetic book of showing why Jesus would vote a certain way, he also calls on Christians to exercise their Biblical duty to vote. He points out that when Christians do not vote, it is equivalent to disobeying God and often results in outcomes that will have a negative influence on our American culture. He rips apart the religious left and their socialist slant, points to the party responsible for today's activist judges, and shows just who the real extremists are in the political world. He does more than just talk about the issues that should be important to all Christians, with confidence he answers the question of who Jesus would vote for. Who Would Jesus Vote For debunks the myth that God is neutral and does not care about politics. It is hard-hitting and the conclusions drawn are straight to the point. No doubt this book will draw fire from many in the world of politics. This book may be just as controversial today as Jesus was in His day. Look inside and see-just who would Jesus vote for?

This eye-opening, non-partisan, and comprehensive look at what Jesus and the Bible can teach us about many of the hot-button topics of today’s political landscape “does not simply call us to think outside the box, but to think outside our bias” (Chip Ingram, author of Culture Shock). During every election year, we hear politicians on both sides of the aisle as well as religious leaders of every stripe claim to know—with absolute certainty—where Jesus and Christianity stand on their favorite issues. Jesus, of course, would vote exactly as they do. But would he? Examining some of the most contentious political topics of our time in light of Scripture and the teachings of Jesus, the end goal of this book is not to promote a particular point of view but to objectively portray what the Bible says on political and cultural topics. Darrell Bock intends to provoke a different kind of conversation—one where differences are heard and respect is shared, a conversation where we can disagree passionately yet dialogue peacefully.

The year 2020 will be known for many circumstances this year, but one of them being that of it being an election year during a time of unrest.During a time of civil discontent, heightened by a global pandemic, the question remains of who will step up as president (and government representatives) to lead the United States to recovery, reconciliation, and renewal?In the new book, Who Would Jesus Vote For?, author Phil Gentlesk uses the pages of the Bible to help in displaying how much the current Democratic party has drifted from its foundations as the "party of the working man."Recalling his first election memories of President Eisenhower winning his election, Phil remembers learning about the candidates and what they stood for, while seeing what his community was looking at most for their next leader of the free world. This thrill for election time is what inspired him to write Who Would Jesus Vote For?, knowing there would be young Americans voting for the first time this year who might be overwhelmed by the politics and social situations happening around them.Phil shares with readers that the election should be seen as a spiritual battle as well as a political battle, offering perspectives on how the current Democratic party has spiritual conflicts that those who are believers in God should be aware of when casting their ballots.The story of David comes to mind to Phil as a story God uses to show readers a leader chosen by God acts on His truths and knows what is the right thing to do. David wasn't told to kill the giant Goliath, but knew inside this was right in God's eyes.For the year 2020, make your vote count by choosing the candidate that will do what is right and glorify God instead of glorify himself.

Jesus for President is a radical manifesto to awaken the Christian political imagination, reminding us that our ultimate hope lies not in partisan political options but in Jesus and the incarnation of the peculiar politic of the church as a people 'set apart' from this world. In what can be termed lyrical theology, Jesus for President poetically weaves together words and images to sing (rather than dictate) its message. It is a collaboration of Shane Claiborne's writing and stories, Chris Haw's reflections and research, and Chico Fajardo-Heflin's art and design. Drawing upon the work of biblical theologians, the lessons of church history, and the examples of modern-day saints and ordinary radicals, Jesus for President stirs the imagination of what the Church could look like if it placed its faith in Jesus instead of Caesar. A fresh look at Christianity and empire, Jesus for President transcends questions of 'Should I vote or not?' and 'Which candidate?' by thinking creatively about the fundamental issues of faith and allegiance. It's written for those who seek to follow Jesus, rediscover the spirit of the early church, and incarnate the kingdom of God.
