The entire world is full of speculation about how Christians should lead and vote. Those who both love and hate Jesus have used the phrase "What would Jesus do?" to pull others into their own agendas. However, no one is talking about what Jesus DID do or the political values he upheld, found in the Gospels themselves.This book takes us back 2000 years to the place where Christian politics were first born and shows the values Jesus brought into our world and the political values he challenged. It will not tell you how to vote today, or even whether you should vote at all. Instead, this book will challenge you to see politics, and leadership in general, the way Jesus did.This book also contains political and church leaders throughout history that have upheld the political values Jesus taught and contemporary challenges that we face today.

The world has changed much since Ronald Reagan was president. The common cultural trend of keeping religion and politics in separate boxes has ended. Separation of church and state, while historic, has been argued, ignored, and changed in emphasis multiple times to suit our own agendas. The idea that you can maintain separation of church and state simply by forbidding the public support of any given candidate is not keeping the church out of politics, it is simply forcing the church to be non-partisan. The church has pushed a political agenda through specific issues since the beginning, and especially in more recent times around issues of civil rights, global relations, economic issues, and marriage.
