ok book - great discussion!

honestly i didn't really like "Jesus for President" very much.

.

but it made great fodder for discussion!

.

we had a pretty good turnout tonight... and everyone present contributed and seemed to enjoy the talk.

.

the book was far more Mennonite than i realized. as i read it, i got a VERY strong 'pacifist' vibe. i didn't know that the authors studied with the Mennonites for several years... no wonder!

.

overall the book was ok for a teen study guide on the history of the political process from adam and eve to the present, from an extreme pacifist viewpoint, with some pointers thrown in at the end on how to 'rise above' the political process. the author, it turns out, doesn't vote.

.

i certainly will. :)
