SOJOMAIL: A weekly ezine of spirituality, politics and culture
=================================================================

Jesus Is Still the Greatest Threat to Earthly Tyrants
Jim Wallis

Christ in Crisis: Why We Need to Reclaim Jesus says it all for me.
Because of the moment we are now in, this book feels like
the most important one I have ever done. I always knew I would
write my own Jesus book - focused solely on what he said, what
he meant, and what it means today. I decided this was the time to
write that book. Some of the early readers tell me they think
it's the best I've ever written. I really and deeply hope so,
given the deep spiritual crisis we are in that goes far deeper
than politics.

This is indeed so much deeper than just a political crisis;
underneath lies a deeply spiritual and dangerously moral one. I
always "road test" all my ideas for a book. And the line I
have spoken to people across the country since the 2016 election
that gets the most response is this one: "The soul of the
nation is at stake, as is the integrity of faith." I have been
grateful to see even some presidential candidates and media
pundits now raising the "soul of the nation" language.

Everything has become so polarized, partisan, and binary.
"Don't go left, don't go right; go deeper" is something I have often
said but is more important now than ever before. And for us, going
deeper means into Jesus.
