How would Jesus vote?
This book arrived a little late for me to read (as I had hoped to) before the Oct 27th review deadline.
But it’s still on my stack to read ASAP. I’m wondering if anyone out there has read it and what your thoughts are. I’m still digging Shane Claiborne and Chris Haw’s comment that its [...]
