I think that there is an incredible amount to learn in Jesus For President. Shane does an excellent job with many different topics. The bottom-line is very practical ways of living for Jesus and making Him the leader of our lives. There are some sections that are harder to read than others, but overall a great book that I will keep.

I literally could not put this book down. I learned more from reading this than I did taking 2 semesters of Old testament and New Testament and years of bible study. I like the way the author breaks the book down into themes. I loved the graphics, the type.. everything. I think every person who calls him or herself a Christian should read this book. It will challenge you on a personal level. It is so different from what is out there on the shelves. I highly recommend this book.

This was an amazing book. Its a book about Jesus for people who don't wanna waste anymore time with organized religion. It goes back to who Jesus really was and how the modern church of today is actually almost a polar opposite of the early church.
This is no gimmick. This is solid bibilcal scholarship. July 20, 2008

When I first saw the title, I thought, "Here's someone who came up with an intriguing catch phrase so they could sell a book during an election year." I couldn't have been more wrong.
This book is serious. It carries a high reverence for God and a high respect of the truth of the Scriptures. It packages 4,000 plus years of political and religious history in a way that is easy to comprehend, without dumbing down. It is both academic and born out of real life experience. The authors love God and love people, and this book is a fruit of their inspiring, Christ-centered faith.
My fellow Americans... my fellow Christians... please read this book.

the perfect Kingdom will not come
in mortal time and yet
my our service here and now
the cornerstone is set...
the individual and communal
both must play a role
either overemphasized
will stunt the human soul
