by Bunni Pounds (Author)
The Christian life isn't about doing things the easy way--it's about living as Christ even in a hostile environment.
After reading this book, you will understand how God wants to use Christians to change the world and how you can walk with the Holy Spirit no matter what call He places on your life.
Using her sixteen-year political career as a backdrop, Bunni Pounds gives readers practical tools for discipling a nation one heart at a time and living the Christian life extravagantly, even in a hostile environment. In Jesus and Politics, Pounds lays out the importance of Christians engaging in politics, government, and other spheres of influence to impact systems and individuals.
Sharing her divine appointments and unlikely interactions with prominent figures, Pounds gives readers a front-row seat to:
- Witness the power of prayer as she supported a congressman through a terminal cancer diagnosis during a national campaign.
- Discover how a word from God on an airplane shifted a lawmaker into a new, more influential prominent position.
- Learn how she set her heart free from bitterness and unforgiveness after a million-dollar congressional race by paying off her opponent's debt.
- See how a dream about a congressman from the other side of the political aisle led to an ongoing ministry relationship that has transcended their political differences.
But this is more than a book of stories. Jesus and Politics is a book about Jesus that equips readers to:
- Cultivate intimacy with Jesus, even in a hostile culture and amid life's pressures.
- Effectively share the gospel, disciple others, and stand up for truth in various settings.
- Engage in politics and various spheres of government to protect liberty in America.
Reminding readers that our liberty requires our participation, Jesus and Politics is an indispensable resource for those seeking to make a lasting impact for Christ and embark on a transformative journey to live out their destiny, preserve America, and make a difference for eternity.
