Description
Book SynopsisReveals that virtually all of the critics, as well as many supporters, have long misunderstood both the true implications of faith-based partnerships and their unique potential for advancing social justice.
Trade Review"Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama have all supported expanding poverty-fighting partnerships between religious nonprofit organizations and government agencies. Lew Daly has taken the complicated history and often divisive discourse concerning such faith-based initiatives to a better intellectual and civic place. Agree or not with all of Daly's conclusions, this is an engaging, balanced, and timely book: President Obama's faith-based policy advisors and all other interested citizens should take note." - John J. Dilulio Jr., first director, White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives"
