I will also be leading and facilitating a three part forum on God's Politics. Although I agree with the premise that old and new testament prophetic faith/poverty/justice issues cannot be divorced from politics, I found the book sloppy, a laborious read, repetitive and full of clichés. It could have easily been 100 pages (or less) with a DVD/CD resource guide to boot. That would have been much more effective. Jim Wallis has been an effective voice for over 35 years and this book does him no justice (no pun intended). This book needed an editor with a big red marker. I feel it was rushed to print and reduces his voice to mediocre-dum. Still, I will be reading what folks are gleaning from this book in order to make an effective case for his central theme. William
