Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. With the success of his God's Politics national tour--where book signings turned into large town meetings-- Jim Wallis started a nationwide movement that ended the Religious Right's monologue on faith and politics. After speaking with people across the country as well as with political leaders and presidential candidates in Washington, DC, Wallis brings us The Great Awakening--a plan forward for reviving the heart and soul of our nation. Here, Wallis not only chronicles the demise of the Religious Right and the changes in DC's rarefied air, but summarizes America's legacy of combining personal faith and political justice that inspired such changes as the abolition of slavery, the civil rights movement, and the anti-war movement. The Great Awakening offers 'rules of engagement' for a politics that transcends partisanship embracing common values for the common good. Wallis offers seven personal, communal, and political commitments that are beginning to gain popularity among Americans of faith: * Integrity& Accountability for our politicians * Opportunity& Inclusion for the working poor * Stewardship& Renewal for our decaying environment * Life& Dignity for global suffering and skyrocketing healthcare * Family& Community in the face of disturbing trends like the 'me' generation's online alienation * Equality& Diversity to think clearly about immigration concerns and a shrinking world * Peace& Justice for a globe racked with wars over resources and religions These commitments are beginning to bring about a resurgence of personal faith and social justice to make this country stronger. With The Great Awakening, Wallis beats the drum calling the entire nation to rediscover our moral center, and provides the reader with a concrete plan forward and the inspiration to build the kind of movement that has saved our country in the past and can do so today.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Since when did believing in God and having moral values make you pro-war, pro-wealth, and pro-Republican? And since when did promoting and pursuing a progressive social agenda with a concern for economic security, health care, and educational opportunity mean you had to put aside faith in God? While the Right in America has hijacked the language of faith to prop up its political agenda, the Left hasn't done much better, largely ignoring faith and continually separating moral discourse and personal ethics from public policy. The consequence is a false choice between ideological religion and soulless politics.In the New York Times bestseller God's Politics, Jim Wallis argues that separation of church and state does not require banishing moral and religious values from public discourse. In fact, the United States depends on such values and vision to shape our politics - something that was recognized by the nation's founders. Jim Wallis is the founder and editor of Sojourner magazine, and the president and convener of "Call to Renewal," a national federation of churches and faith-based organizations who work with the government to overcome poverty and revitalize American politics. Time magazine named Wallis one of the "50 Faces for America's Future," and he has been a Visiting Fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. His books include Faith Works, The Soul of Politics and Call to Conversion."It is a reminder that Martin Luther King may have had a bible in one hand, but he had the Constitution in the other."- New York Times Book Review.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. When we start with the wrong question, no matter how good an answer we get, it won't give us the results we want. Rather than joining the throngs who are asking, When will this economic crisis be over? Jim Wallis says the right question to ask is How will this crisis change us? The worst thing we can do now, Wallis tells us, is to go back to normal. Normal is what got us into this situation. We need a new normal, and this economic crisis is an invitation to discover what that means. Some of the principles Wallis unpacks for our new normal are . . . * Spending money we don't have for things we don't need is a bad foundation for an economy or a family. * It's time to stop keeping up with the Joneses and start making sure the Joneses are okay. * The values of commercials and billboards are not the things we want to teach our children. * Care for the poor is not just a moral duty but is critical for the common good. * A healthy society is a balanced society in which markets, the government, and our communities all play a role. * The operating principle of God's economy says that there is enough if we share it. * And much, much more . . . In the pages of this book, Wallis provides us with a moral compass for this new economy--one that will guide us on Wall Street, Main Street, and Your Street. Embracing a New Economy Getting back to "the way things were" is not an option. It is time we take our economic uncertainty and use it to find some moral clarity. Too often we have been ruled by the maxims that greed is good, it's all about me, and I want it now. Those can be challenged only with some of our oldest and best values--enough is enough, we are in it together, and thinking not just for tomorrow but for future generations. Jim Wallis shows that the solution to our problems will be found only as individuals, families, friends, churches, mosques, synagogues, and entire communities wrestle with the question of values together.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. In this timely and hopeful book, Jim Wallis shows how left and right, religious and non-religious, Christians and those of other faiths may find common ground working for the benefit of our communities, our neighbours, and our world. As Wallis writes, Our life together can be better. It's time to hear and heed a call to a different way of life, to reclaim a very old idea called the common good. So who is my neighbour in an age of austerity when different ideas of fairness clamour for attention, and what can we do to build up the common good.…
