Healing For a Broken World: Christian Perspective on Public Policy, by Steve Monsma

Book Description
Do today's believers know how to be not simply good citizens but good Christian citizens? Are they ready to respond to contemporary public policy issues such as genocide, global AIDS, global warming, and human trafficking according to Scripture rather than any particular political agenda? A growing segment of them are, even if they aren't quite sure how to accomplish it. This book is for them.

With American evangelicals having more political influence today than ever before, this book is especially important. The opening chapters establish the foundational biblical principles that are relevant to our lives as Christian citizens no matter the topic. Author Steve Monsma next highlights crucial global issues in which believers are called to live out their faith. Forgoing ready-made answers, Monsma encourages a reflective, thoroughly biblical response via a lively writing style. His book will equip all believers to make godly, humanitarian choices rather than purely political ones.

A DVD featuring a 10 minute introduction to each chapter of this book is available from Crossway at www.crossway.org or from the Henry Institute for the Study of Christianity and Politics at www.calvin.edu/henry. It is ideal for use in classes and discussion groups.

Sounds very interesting. It is a pity that it isn't free in epub format.

Pity it's yet another author pushing his religious values at us.

It's what their faith tells them they should do.

Whenever I get them knocking at my door I always tell myself not to get annoyed - if I believed what they believe I'd be doing it too.

Nobody is pushing something on us. It is just an announcement like many announcements of free ebooks, and it wasn't the author. Some people may be interested in it, others not. Just like any other book. I certainly would like to read the book, even though I am not an American. I might buy it in epub format. If you're not interested just skip it.

Nobody is forcing you to get the ebook, even at free. When you are required to download and read it, that would be the time to complain.
