Encouragement for Christians on the Left

This book is scholarly without being ponderous. He speaks with wit and common sense to those of us who labor in the current world of seemingly continuous struggle for recognition of a God of love and understanding of the human condition. I found myself reading passage aloud to my husband as we lay side by side reading in bed and he often echoed my delight at a voice speaking for us. It is a really "good read".
