  • On God's Side: What Religion Forgets and Politics Hasn't Learned About Serving the Common Good, Jim Wallis  Video by author.
New York Times best-selling author and evangelical Christian Jim Wallis argues that people of faith need to find common ground beyond our conservative/liberal divide.  “He shows us how to reclaim Jesus’ ancient and compelling vision of the common good—a vision that impacts and inspires not only our politics but also our personal lives, families, churches, neighborhoods and world.”It’s “a book that isn’t just about where we went wrong, but about how we can join God in making things right again…a book about us blessing God by caring for God’s people, especially the most vulnerable ones among us” (Shane Claiborne)“No one cuts through the confusion of our times with clarity and compassion like Jim Wallis.  He is at his best in this book…” (Eboo Patel)(published in 2013).
