Hi
Who speaks for Christians in America today?
The media focuses much of its religion reporting on
self-proclaimed Christian leaders who claim to represent the 81%
of white evangelicals who voted for, and continue to support, the
presidency of Donald Trump. Meanwhile, the voices of those who
prioritize the biblical call to social justice get drowned
out.
It's almost as if the voice of Jerry Falwell, Jr. matters more
than Jesus Christ.
How can we change the narrative?
As you're likely aware, I just wrote a new book
called Christ in Crisis: Why We Need to Reclaim
Jesus. It's a guide for putting Jesus' values back at
the center of the national conversation about faith and
values--and, more importantly, re-centering our own lives on his
life and
teachings.
Want your purchase of Christ in Crisis to make the
greatest impact? Here's how.
To change the national narrative about faith and values, we have
to get the media's attention.
And one proven way for a message like this to break through is to
land on the New York Times Bestseller List. Real talk:
We're told we need to sell 5,000 copies to make the bestseller
list (which helps drive a new narrative). Books ordered in
the first couple of weeks are
the most important.
When God's Politics became a national bestseller, it
changed the conversation.
So if you're thinking about buying the book but haven't yet,
I'm asking you to consider doing it now.
There are an awful lot of voices in America right now claiming to
speak for Christians. But we all know that in the end there's
only one voice that matters: Jesus Christ. If we can get this
book out, it will be a clear line in the sand that at least some
of us still care about applying Jesus' voice to our lives and our
politics.
And that would be good news, for our nation--and for the
world.
In Christ,
Jim Wallis
