Recenzii
"...Sims makes an articulate plea for the American electorate to choose a leader who recognizes that power, political and otherwise, can only create conditions of peace and justice when it is based on the notion of service to others." -Grace & Truth, 21.3, 2004
"... the book resounds with his awareness of a re-awakening spirit of justice and love, and a 'maturity of humanity,' emerging from eras of childhood self-identity and of adolescent violence." -Patricia Nakamura, The Living Church, September 19, 2004
"This is a timely and courageous book. It should provoke much thought, prayer and discussion. Read it." -Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Laureate
"This is a passionate and persuasive book. Bennett Sims has woven together his career as an Episcopal theologian and bishop with his ethical and political concerns as an informed citizen of the United States. He examines issues underneath the political propaganda of the spin-doctors and presents a vision of what the country can be which judges what it is becoming. This book will not be popular in the present White House, but it will ring true with millions of Americans and people around the world will cheer that someone inside the USA sees what they see so clearly." -John Shelby Spong, author of A New Christianity for a Better World
"Like the minor prophets before him, Bennett Sims has written a small book that packs a major wallop. His mix of religion and politics is as fresh as it is bold, but his critique of power goes well beyond reproof. Having witnessed the worst that people can do, Sims remains an apostle of hope. His practical vision of a peaceable planet is so compelling that only the terminally hard of heart can fail to respond." -Barbara Brown Taylor, author of When God Is Silent
"At a time when national polls indicated that most citizens base their judgments concerning national policies on what they hear from the media rather than what they hear at church, this is a very important book. Bishop Sims makes very clear how our religious convictions must be the basis for our political choices, which are also clearly profound moral decisions. I hope this message is spread throughout the land." - Thomas J. Gumbleton, Auxiliary Bishop, Archdiocese of Detroit
"Bishop Sims believes in a politically committed spirituality. His message should be read and discussed in every church in the land at this critical time in the nation's history."- The Rev'd William Sloane Coffin
"...[T]he book by the retired bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta was a breath of fresh air. Instead of lambasting the president, as these books [Bushwacked, Dude, Where's My Country, et al.] proudly do, Sims lays out a reasoned, theologically sound argument against the kind of leadership the current administration practices, instead of attacking specific policies or the president's personal character." - www.whosoever.org (online Christian magazine), 5/5/04
"Sim's underlying effort-namely, to provide a faith-based argument against fundamentalism and therefore an alternative to Bush's model of a faith-based politics-is an important one." - BRIDGES Vol. 12
"Readers sympathetic to Sim's alienation from the Bush administration and to his eclectic mix of religious philosophies may find encouragement and inspiration here." -Publisher's Weekly, 6/1/04
