Voters today too often default to one side of the political spectrum or the other. Candidates avoid discussing issues, and election outcomes are influenced by slogans and television ads.
In “Faith in the Voting Booth,” Leith Anderson and Galen Carey show how better informed, faith-directed voting is both possible and needed in our country today.
Biblical wisdom is relevant to today’s complex political issues, and each voting decision should be thoughtfully and prayerfully approached.
Now there’s a resource to help you:
- Identify the issues and reflect on how they inform your voting;
- Clarify your own positions in light of your faith before you enter the voting booth;
- Resist clever campaign slogans and television ads designed to make you angry or afraid; and
- Keep up to date and ready to vote with confidence and wisdom.
In this book, Leith and Galen provide general principles to guide you in 2016 and for years to come.
