Glenn Beck’s new book Cowards graciously acknowledges me as one of the writers.  One chapter is called “Jim Wallis and the Attempted Hijacking of Religion.”  It reports not only on Wallis but on other notables in the modern Religious and Evangelical Left.  There’s also some history on the Social Gospel and the mistakes of the Mainline Protestant denominations, including Methodism.  Understanding America today demands understanding today’s churches and how they got where they are.  Beck dedicates his book to Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer.  Read it!
