In First Freedom First, with clear language and recognizable examples, two of the most trusted voices on church-state separation address head-on the many areas where religion and politics overlap, with consequences for all Americans. This book is for anyone concerned about such issues as:

• Churches hosting politicians and insisting they give testaments of their faith
• Science teachers questioning the theory of evolution in their public school classrooms
• Public religious debates on private issues involving end-of-life decisions and reproductive choices
• Federal funding for religious organizations, including those that discriminate openly

With religion a constant presence in political discussions, First Freedom First offers practical and easy ways to remind our leaders and our community of the importance of keeping religion and politics separate, for the sake of both institutions.

"If we forsake our freedom of religion, it's not the kind of thing we can ask nicely to have returned to us when we realize later how much we need it. First Freedom First explains why we ought to avoid this mistake, but, crucially, also how to avoid it—how respect for the First Amendment can unify even the most disparate elements in America's spiritual life."
—Rachel Maddow, Air America Radio

"This is a book for every American. Gaddy and Lynn have provided us with a volume that informs and challenges, as well as inspires and guides us on issues of vital importance to all of us -- our founding fathers' vision for religious liberty and their constitutional guarantee of separation of church and state. I applaud this book as a tool for preserving our democracy's greatest treasure."
—Walter Cronkite]]> 674077 4.17 6 1 2008 3911129 0817012621 9780817012625 1 <![CDATA[Why Bother With the Bible?: Understanding the Book of Faith]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3911129.Why_Bother_With_the_Bible_Understanding_the_Book_of_Faith 5.00 2 674077 4.17 6 1 1998 3431602 0802842690 9780802842695 0 <![CDATA[Adultery and Grace: The Ultimate Scandal]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3431602.Adultery_and_Grace_The_Ultimate_Scandal 3.00 1 674077 4.17 6 1 1996 6343643 0062520156 9780062520159 0 <![CDATA[God's Clowns: Messengers of the Good News]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6343643-god-s-clowns 0.0 0 674077 4.17 6 1 1990 5435099 1573122564 9781573122566 0 <![CDATA[Worship: A Symphony for the Senses, vol 1]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5435099.Worship_A_Symphony_for_the_Senses_vol_1 0.0 0 Worship: A Symphony for the Senses is a three volume series, which presents Christian worship as an encounter to be experienced by the entire person-heart, mind, and all the senses. Few resources for worship bring together all these dimensions of a corporate service - a quality that makes this series invaluable for anyone involved in worship planning or in the study of the theology and philosophy of worship.

Gaddy presents a book of sermon materials that compliments precisely the book of orders of worship that is introduced in volume 2. This book begins with a brief statement on the relationship between preaching and worship - an essay that could have great importance in its own right. In conclusion, a sermon is provided for every service that is offered in volume 2.
