Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis Audiobook

" I struggled to find much in this book with which I disagreed. "

" This book made me want to move to Canada. Parts of it were not that well written and one-sided, but I thought the parts on US foreign policy were very revealing. It's interesting to remember reading this as I look back upon the Bush administation's years in office. This book made me become completely appalled at the US administration's views and actions toward other countries during those years. "

" I was dissapointed with this book which is basically a rehash of Jimmy Carters philosophy of life, politics and society. Pretty superficial. "

" I thought this book was fantastic! It's refreshing to see a politician who actually believes in the separation of church and state. The book is divided into chapters that take close looks at "moral values" that are under debate among Christians and politicians: preemptive war, women's rights, terrorism, civil liberties, homosexuality, abortion, the death penalty, science and religion, environmental degradation, nuclear arsenals, America's global image, fundamentalism, and the melding of religion and politics. I'm surprised at how much I agree with Carter on pretty much all these issues. Carter points out hypocrisy from both people in the government and people in the church. This was written in 2005 during the George W. Bush administration, so I would be interested to see this book printed in an updated edition to see Carter's opinions on recent happenings under the Obama administration. A lot has happened since 2005, after all. "

" I think Jimmy Carter seems like such a nicer person that I wanted to read his book. I got bored tho, and still have not finished it... "

" The book might have been interesting, if I hadn't needed a dictionary on every page. Read for Southern Voices Book Club 2/2007 "

" Makes excellent points that I tend to agree with. You can be liberal and Christian. "

" A wonderful commentary from a very thoughtful man on how his Christian faith influences his political values. President Carter tells the readers how the policies of the "religious right" are in opposition to the compassion and inclusiveness taught by Christ. "

" Love Carter, loved this book "

" Okay, I started this book a few years ago and some how lost it. That is the only way I would have ever stopped reading this book. Jimmy Carter is so eloquent, logical and passionate in is discussion about religion, homosexuality, women's rights, terrorism, abortion from his unique perspective. "

" This guy can write and I have a lot more respect for him now after having read the book. All I recall from childhood when he was president that he was a wuss...couldn't get those hostages out of Iran. But he's done a lot of good since those days and I appreciate his more peaceful approach. "

" I like his connection of faith to politics. I am pretty familiar with his arguments already though and have made many of them myself, so I sort of feel like I am patting myself on the back by reading it. "

" This guy should run for president or something. Who would have thought I could get so behind this Sunday school teacher politically! His approach to foreign policy is the most true to Christian principles I've seen, and yet also the most sound. "

" Christians can be Democrats! Great contrast to fundamentalist views of Christian political positions. See also "What Jesus Meant" and Jim Wallis's "God's Politics". "

" Always thoughtful, the best former-president, takes a candid look at American culture and the recent shift from home, compassion and optimism. "

" It was heart wrenching to read this book and realize what a sad path we have embarked upon as a nation. How did we became the latest rogue nation and what is my responsbility as a citizen of the United States. Our ambiguity about the millions of people living in poverty is horrible. We should care! "

" I now have a better understanding of how the political process works and how different interest groups have managed to have such a strong voice for good and bad. "

" Great man! Great insight! Great book! "

" A very insightful book and with the passing of time; also prophetic "

" Confirms the values we need to act on. "

" Just about as bland and vanilla as Jimmy Carter himself. Not to say that I disagree with most of what he has to say... "

" I thoroughly enjoyed the arguments posed by President Carter in this book. Although not everyone will agree with everything he argues, he still provokes thought. A great read for anyone interested in the moral situation in America. "

" President Carter speaks out clearly and with directness but unfortunately few seem to hear his words. "

" The reason Mr. Carter had trouble as a President was because he has such a good heart. Excellent read. "

" I listened to this on a trip. I thought that President Carter gets it right for the most part. "

" A very insightful book and with the passing of time; also prophetic "

" interesting take on changes in politics, personal info. "

" Gives good insight into Carters values and why he thinks they matter. "

" President Carter speaks out clearly and with directness but unfortunately few seem to hear his words. "

" this was Carrie Stewarts book. It was a great book on the American moral problems. Good Book "
