Over the past fifteen years, associations throughout the U.S. have organized citizens around issues of equality and social justice, often through local churches. But in contrast to President Bush's vision of faith-based activism, in which groups deliver social services to the needy, these associations do something greater. Drawing on institutions of faith, they reshape public policies that neglect the disadvantaged. To find out how this faith-based form of community organizing succeeds, Richard L. Wood spent several years working with two local groups in Oakland, California—the faith-based Pacific Institute for Community Organization and the race-based Center for Third World Organizing. Comparing their activist techniques and achievements, Wood argues that the alternative cultures and strategies of these two groups give them radically different access to community ties and social capital. Creative and insightful, Faith in Action shows how community activism and religious organizations can help build a more just and democratic future for all Americans.

Celebrated Theologian Offers Wisdom for Civic Engagement Christian citizens have a responsibility to make political and ethical judgments in light of their faith and to participate in the public lives of their communities--from their local neighborhoods to the national scene. But it can be difficult to discern who to vote for, which policies to support, and how to respond to the social and cultural trends of our time. This nonpartisan handbook offers Christians practical guidance for thinking through complicated public issues and faithfully following Jesus as citizens of their countries. The book focuses on enduring Christian commitments that should guide readers in their judgments and encourages legitimate debate among Christians over how to live out core values. The book also includes lists of resources for further reflection in each chapter and "room for debate" questions to consider.

This book is a must read. The author is one of the most provocative pastors in America. He is not well-known; neither does he desire to be. He is one of few pastors who totally depend on the Lord for every word spoken and every word preached. You see, not only is Pastor Ardoin totally dependent on God, but the reason is thought-provoking. Pastor Ardoin, from humble beginnings, quit school to work in the fields of Louisiana to help support his younger siblings. When he was accepted by Christ into the family of God, he could not read, making him totally dependent on man to quench his hunger and thirst for the Word. Once he realized that depending on man was not good, he beseeched God to teach him. His desire was to only be able to read God's Word. God heard his servant and taught him to read His Word. To this day, Pastor Ardoin can only read the Bible, no other book. He depends totally on God and whatever Word He would have him speak. When he speaks, the Word is as an oracle of God. Unable to research or read others' opinions of the Word, he cannot alter what God has to say. The words written in this book are a few of many messages given to him by way of the Holy Spirit. He does not change God's message. His messages are awe-inspiring and thought-provoking. This book will not tickle your ear but give you truth straight from the Man Himself, God. His decision to publish is to be able to reach more with the truth. Many believe truth is relative, but Pastor Ardoin believes truth to be absolute when it is based in the Word of God. Releasing Your Faith through the Word is completely Word-based (Bible) and Spirit-led. In the words of our Lord, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
