If you need to be shaken out of your Republican slumber, this is the book for you. If you've ever wondered how committed (or non-committed) the top names in Christian political activism are to Christ, if you've wondered where they get their cash (and jets) from and if you've wondered why they don't seem to have any effect on politics, this book is for you.
The chapters each consist of direct quotes from interviews with people like Ann Coulter (who is one scary chick that does NOT exemplify my understanding of Christian character), Joseph Farrah and Tom Minnery (a controlling top dog at of Focus on the Family who hand picks what info he passes up to Dobson). The chapters are short and to the point but packed with very interesting tidbits that paint a pathetic picture. The main thing I came away with is that I will NEVER be influenced again by what the "big names" say I, as a Christian voter, must do. They have strayed from the the confines of sound doctrine, compromised with the world, exploited the Christian market and done a disservice to the Church and the country. Read how in their own words.
We learn that Christian "activists" who get their names up in lights and their pockets filled with money they could not otherwise have honestly earned are basically the same as their non-Christian counterparts: greedy, hungry for power and "looking out for number one."
I highly recommend this book and that you put away all your Dr. Dobson materials and open the New Testament.
I agree with the book's main point: revival in the Church is what's needed. Perhaps five minutes of sincere, earnest prayer would accomplish more than ten political activists regardless that they call themselves Christians.
