Hugh Hewitt is the host of a nationally syndicated radio show, a professor at Chapman University Law School and the author of a dozen previous books on the subjects of politics, law and Christianity. In this book, Hewitt lays out a 26 week course of study and conversation for small groups on the variety of subjects that Christians interested in politics must consider as they contemplate their lives as citizens in a free society. Christians in America have been accused of unthinking support of both major parties at various times in the country's history. What is crucial for any follower of Christ is not only that they be able to give an account of why they believe in the Gospel, but also of how the Gospel informs every aspect of their lives, including their decisions as citizens and voters. This book provides the millions of small groups that meet weekly or monthly with a series of readings and questions to guide those decisions. Hewitt is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Michigan Law School. Among his previous books are The Embarrassed Believer and In But Not Of: A Guide to Christian Ambition. He blogs daily at HughHewitt.com.
