Are we in a crisis?
A million abortions a year. Skyrocketing divorce. Broken families. Social approval of same-sex lifestyles and the push for same-sex marriage. Economic collapse, unemployment, swelling government debt and deficit spending. Global terrorism.
If you agree that we are in a crisis, then you'll understand why this book is so important.
It is important because in a democratic republic, only an informed and principled citizenry can respond adequately to a crisis.
It is important because committed Christians, with their reason informed and enlightened by faith, with their common motivation ("Love your neighbor as yourself.") and their firm foundation (I am the Truth....And the truth shall set you free.) need to stand together-and act together-in this time of crisis.
It is important because this book enumerates and explains the fundamental principles which we must understand and accept if we are going to make decisions and undertake actions that will lead to the restoration of cultural and economic sanity in this country.
It is important because it is a concrete example-that needs to be set on a lampstand-of how Catholics and Evangelicals can and must work together at this critical moment in our country's history.
Many books have been written on conservative politics. Many more have been written calling Christians to holiness and spiritual renewal. Very few, however, have managed to combine a clear explanation of the conservative political perspective with its corresponding personal and spiritual virtue.
In Indivisible, Jay Richards and James Robison tackle tough moral and political issues facing Christians today, including abortion, stem cell research, marriage, education, economics, health care, the environment, judicial activism, terrorism, free trade and more. Written to appeal to a broad spectrum of believers, Indivisible provides simple, clear arguments that Christians can use to support their beliefs in public settings.
We can restore our culture and revive our economy, but everyone must play a part. Indivisible lays bare what we must know, what we must do, and how we can do it. Before it's too late.

"I read this book from cover to cover, in one sitting, in awe of what God was up to in these pages. Indivisible builds a sure bridge of faith and reason over which our country can walk, from our present state of confusion and peril into a new era of peace and prosperity. My friends James Robison and Jay Richards have given the Christian community-indeed, all of us-an invaluable tool for hope."
- Fr. Jonathan Morris, Fox News Analyst and Author of The Promise
"This book explains the fundamental principles which we must understand and accept if we are
going to make decisions and undertake actions that will lead to the restoration of cultural and
economic sanity in this country."
- Fr. Joseph Fessio, S.J., Founder and Editor, Ignatius Press
"It is relatively easy to observe that our society is fast reaching a climactic moment. How to discern a wise, credible, effective and prudent course of action to avoid disaster is not so easy to come across. Jay Richards and James Robison make an important contribution in pointing the way to avoid the worst effects of a coming cultural and economic tsunami." - Fr. Robert A. Sirico, President, Acton Institute
"In an era when Washington's reach continues to exceed its grasp, Indivisible defines the right role of government, explains why social and fiscal conservatives should embrace both the morality of markets and the efficiency of the markets-and why doing so requires no simple act of faith."
- Arthur Brooks, President, American Enterprise Institute
"Rather than accept the common view that faith and politics are ever to be divided, James Robison and Jay Richards appeal convincingly to indivisible principles to show not only that our moral beliefs are compatible with a free market, but also that-now more than ever-religious believers and the advocates of economic freedom must work together to help get our country back on course."
- Matthew Spalding, Author, We Still Hold These Truths, Vice President of American Studies at The Heritage Foundation
Carl, I'm interested in this book. As of today there are not excerpt to look at. Does the book reference encyclicals, scripture, the church fathers (Thomas Aquinas, Augustine). Right now I'm doing a personal study on Brian Benestad's book on Church State and Society-Intro to CSD.
I'm looking for a study on Catholic Social Doctrine for our church men's group. With the elections on the horizon I want to use the time before November to inform our men of the Social Issues in light of Catholic teaching. Brian's book is great but a little to lengthy.
I want a book with some meat and potatoes though. Is this what this book contains?
