About This Book
With the success of his God¡¯s Politics national tour--where book
signings turned into large town meetings-- Jim Wallis started a
nationwide movement that ended the Religious Right¡¯s monologue on faith
and politics. After speaking with people across the country as well as
with political leaders and presidential candidates in Washington, DC,
Wallis brings us The Great Awakening--a plan forward for reviving the
heart and soul of our nation.
Here, Wallis not only chronicles the demise of the Religious Right and
the changes in DC¡¯s rarefied air, but summarizes America¡¯s legacy of
combining personal faith and political justice that inspired such
changes as the abolition of slavery, the civil rights movement, and the
anti-war movement. The Great Awakening offers ¡°rules of engagement¡± for
a politics that transcends partisanship embracing common values for the
common good. Wallis offers seven personal, communal, and political
commitments that are beginning to gain popularity among Americans of
faith:
- Integrity & Accountability for our politicians
- Opportunity & Inclusion for the working poor
- Stewardship & Renewal for our decaying environment
- Life & Dignity for global suffering and skyrocketing healthcare
- Family & Community in the face of disturbing trends like the ¡°me¡±
generation¡¯s online alienation
- Equality & Diversity to think clearly about immigration concerns and a
shrinking world
- Peace & Justice for a globe racked with wars over resources and
religions
These commitments are beginning to bring about a resurgence of personal
faith and social justice to make this country stronger. With The Great
Awakening, Wallis beats the drum calling the entire nation to rediscover
our moral center, and provides the reader with a concrete plan forward
and the inspiration to build the kind of movement that has saved our
country in the past and can do so today.
