Jesus for President: Politics for Ordinary Radicals Audiobook

" An amazing account of the daily life regulations and strife a man of God must face in his day to day duties and beliefs. A true inspiration for any political figure and let's the world catch a glimpse of a Jesus that was human and dealing with the likes of this world while maintaining a constant focus on the next. "

" Shane Claiborne is a thinker and this is a thought provoking book. He has some really great observations and ideas on the ideas of being a follower of Christ. I appreciate his thoughtfulness to the topics but not so much his writing style. If you are looking for a deep theological masterpiece this is not the book for you. It is very easy to read and I encourage everyone to read it if only to hear his ideas. "

" brought me back to the heart of christianity in light the world rule. "

" First of all, this book was so beautifully laid out and illustrated. It was a work of art. Some very relevant and provocative thoughts. I didn't totally agree with everything (I think the book was slightly in reaction to current political realities, which is fine, but made it feel a bit too radical in the other direction), but it had some really important thoughts to bring to the table. Great practicals as well. "

" Great read. Maybe a bit too lengthy; however, overall I enjoyed it. Certainly challenged many "bedrock" principles of my politicial thinking. Highly recommended. "

" I think everyone should read this! It gives a whole new perspective on Politics, and Jesus' role, and Christians. It's amazing. "

" This is one of the most spectacular Christian books I have ever read. Want to read it? Then prepare to be stretched and pushed in every direction until you can't help but feel that everything needs to be changed. The average Christian life needs to look different and many of us Christians know that. But this book will bring the conviction of the Holy Spirit that we all need to take a good look at every last aspect of our lives. "

" Absolutely amazing and thought provoking book. Anyone trying to figure out a proper Christian attitude to the state should take to heart the words (and art) of this book. "

" I'm dying for someone I know to read this book so that we can talk about it. I will likely read it again. So if anyone decides to give it a try, let me know. "

" This book was great, even though it made me mad at points. That's not always a bad thing because it forced me to really think about my views on politics. "

" Great, fun, challenging! I love the format of this book with the inset quotes, pictures, etc. "

" One of the best books I ever read, but the thing that stuck out to me was the gracious fire the writers wrote with. A no compromise book that comes off just as loving as piercing. "

" Definitely has some useful points and good food for thought, but overall is a bit too inflammatory for my liking. "

" Wow. This book was powerful. It challenged the way I think about politics, America, and Jesus. "

" Wow. Shane Claibourne challenges my perspective of life, civics, government, religion, etc... I said, "WoW" after every chapter. Don't read it unless you can stand to have your point-of-view challenged. "

" a whole new world... way of seeing/being in the world. and the kingdom of heaven. and the church. and me. ! "

" Interesting views, but a little "left" for my taste. "

" It's a decent read. I agree with what the authors are saying about political power and Christianity, and I'm happy to continue shopping local, reduce/reuse/recycle, but I'm not about to join a commune or go dumpster diving. "

" Got to here Shane speak over the summer. It tells of his journey and there accomplishments. "

" I think everyone should read this! It gives a whole new perspective on Politics, and Jesus' role, and Christians. It's amazing. "

" This book made me rethink my life. I don't think it was completely right, but it shook my worldview like crazy. "

" This book gives its readers a lot to think about. Although many of the ideas in the book I fully agree with many of them I think the authors take a little far and make them almost impractical. However, this book did give me a lot to think about and for that I am greatful. "

" I thought Shane Claiborne was really well spoken for how original his ideas were. Very convincing and thought provoking. "

" a bit conspiracy theory feeling at times, but, good argument for non-pacifist, non-violence methods of living the Kingdom. With a few other lessons along the way. "
