by Jim Wallis
First published 2013
Jim Wallis tackles America's bitter political divisions by examining what both conservatives and liberals miss about serving society's broader needs. Drawing from his larger work on faith and governance, Wallis argues that religion overlooks crucial lessons while politics fails to grasp essential truths about collective welfare. He challenges readers to move beyond partisan warfare toward genuine cooperation. Wallis presents a framework where spiritual values and civic responsibility intersect, offering practical paths forward when traditional political categories prove inadequate. The book confronts how ideological camps entrench themselves while real problems demand collaborative solutions. Wallis shows readers how to navigate America's fractured political terrain by focusing on shared human concerns rather than tribal loyalties.
