How Would Jesus Vote?

This is an excellent book for those looking for a Christian perspective on the issues of the upcoming election. It does not tell you for whom to vote, but rather lays the groundwork of what the Bible says about the issues and then encourages you to align your vote accordingly.

Excellent biblical perspective of today's political issues

If you are looking for a resource to help you understand the Christian perspective of today's political issues, this is one. It is an easy-to-read, strictly on-topic treatment of the myriad of issues we face in our country today. In reading the additional comments on this book, I see those that rated it poorly complained it was too 'conservative'. This book illustrates what the Bible ~ God's Word ~ has to say on the various topics. The authors do an excellent job of keeping it grounded to scripture, and not personal opinion. In fact, Dr. Kennedy had a long record of never saying 'Democrat' or 'Repulican' from his pulpit - the book does the same; it goes out of the way to expose God's thinking on these matters.

very timely and thought provoking

It's an election year, as you've probably noticed. The candidates all want to tell us how wonderful they are and how they can solve all of our problems. But how do they measure up in God's sight? So how would Jesus vote, Democrat or Reublican? If you said neither, you got it right. Contrary to popular opinion, Jesus doesn't belong to any political party, but he does care about how we stand on the issues and how they compare with God's Word. The authors cover a lot of topics we need to consider when deciding how to vote: abortion, stem cell research, suicide and euthanasia, war, education, health-care, environment, etc. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of a campaign, and forget the important things, like where does that candidate stand on the issues, and what is acceptable to God. The authors don't tell you how to vote. They just examine the issues from a biblical point of view, back it up with scripture, and leave the rest up to you. Very thought provoking, especially for an election year. Recommended.
