In this gripping, thought-provoking, and sometimes emotional from-the-trenches account of religious persecution in America, Harvard-trained lawyer David French brings a unique perspective to the culture wars. Fighting the "small battles in the small places," French has seen first-hand the real-life consequences of an imbalanced legal system and a Christian political approach that sometimes works against the very freedoms it seeks to protect. Through the use of stories, case studies and personal accounts, French traces precisely how Christians fight battles in church, school, and the workplace to preserve the basic right to share the gospel and worship as they choose. A Season for Justice will challenge and move its readers—and force them to think clearly and soberly about the real legal attack on Christianity in America.

This review is from: A Season for Justice: Defending the Rights of the Christian Home, Church, and School (Paperback)
I never thought a book about religious liberty could be so moving and interesting. I read this book because my husband gave it to me. There was a big article in our local paper about the author, David French, and about his work in the religious freedom area. I am so thankful that there is a man like French working on behalf of Christians everywhere. And if you think your religious freedoms are not in jeopardy, please buy and read this book.

This review is from: A Season for Justice: Defending the Rights of the Christian Home, Church, and School (Paperback)
This is a remarkable and courageous book by a very talented student of law, religion, and liberty. There are not many evangelical Christians who would write such a blunt and forceful plea to an audience that, as he has admitted, has not always been uniformly tolerant of those on the other side of the religious and cultural divide. His fundamental point is that Christians must be given equal rights in the public square, to defend their beliefs and to attempt to convince others to see the light as they have seen it. But part of the pact must involve Christians' acceptance of the notion that the government cannot favor their positions any more than it can discriminate against them. David French is as important to liberty as he is to religion. Harvey A. Silverglate, Cambridge, MA
