This was a quick read. It took me less than one hour. I appreciate Jeremy‘s pointing out that “Prayer is a political act because it is an appeal to the King of Kings who has all authority and power.” I couldn’t agree more as I find myself praying for difficult situations that are not within my control.

A short read, but packed with good theology of how to approach politics as a believer! I want to buy multiple copies and hand them out to Christians everywhere!

A basic look at politics in the modern American era. Nothing nitty gritty, but reminders that we are to love and respect one another, and that our allegiance is to God, not a candidate or government.

Quick easy read with good reminders.
