The political emergence of evangelical Christians has been a signal development in America in the past quarter century. And while their voting tendencies have been closely scrutinized, their participation in the policy debates of the day has not. They continue to be caricatured as anti-intellectual Bible thumpers whose views are devoid of reason, logic, or empirical evidence. They're seen as lemmings, following the cues of Dobson and Robertson and marching in lock step with the Republican party on the 'culture wars' issues of abortion, gay rights, and guns. Is The Good Book Good Enough? remedies the neglect of this highly influential group, which makes up as much as a third of the American public. It offers a carefully nuanced and comprehensive portrait of evangelical attitudes on a wide range of policies and their theological underpinnings. Each essay applies an evangelical lens to a contemporary issue - environmentalism, immigration, family and same-sex marriage, race relations, global human rights, foreign policy and national security, social welfare and poverty, and economic policy. The result thoroughly enriches our understanding of evangelicalism as a prism through which many view a wide range of policy debates.

Disaster strikes, transforming cities and towns into graveyards and wastelands in a matter of minutes. But help is on its way: news channels and social media relay the information to all corners of the globe in real-time, mobilising hundreds of people and organisations to aid. Yet, with standard relief packages regardless of the location, and a lack of effort taken to match volunteers' skills with tasks, just how effective are we at helping others?Many people want to do good, but they like to do it at their convenience. These attempts at helping often fail, and the blame invariably falls on the disaster victims, rather than looking at the suitability of aid provided. Such help, offered without a thorough understanding of the context or the impact of actions, can create situations that leave the victims worse off than before.So how can we create real sustainable impact?Most communities have a lot of unused human capacity. When offering help, many aid providers fail to engage the local communities, thus excluding a critical group of people with the knowledge of local ways and needs.This book elaborates on a simple principle essential to effective aid — Never Help: Engage, Enable, Empower and Connect.It is important that we fully understand the problem before we try to solve it, and who better to help us with solutions than the local community?

Allan Lockerman is a veteran pastor and Bible teacher. From the Book of Joshua, he unravels the story of people who spent most of their lives settling for less than God's best, until one day, "good enough" was not enough. Instead, they claimed the land and embraced the life God promised. Lockerman skillfully identifies parallels between those ancient Hebrews and today's Christians. You can join in discovering the "abundant life" promised in the new covenant.

Do you ever think about what will happen to you the day after you die? Will you go to a better place? If so, was it because you are a good person? Is your definition of being a good person based on comparing yourself to other people? By taking you through several phases of life, the author brings to light through personal experiences how we are influenced by those around us how we think about what it means to be a good person. This influence establishes the lens through which we view ourselves as being a good person. The majority of people really do not give serious thought about our existence after we die. Most people believe they are good and whatever that existence is, they will go to a "better place" when they die. Do you know for sure? Who is it that defines who is "good"? This book will provoke you to carefully consider your definition of being a good person and how you can be sure you make it into God's Kingdom. You have an appointment with the Creator.
