Amazon.com Review
The Religious Right's emergence as a powerful political force owes a large debt to Ralph Reed, executive director of the Christian Coalition. "Perhaps the finest political operative of his generation," is how the Wall Street Journal once referred to him. The Christian Coalition was formed in 1990 and has quickly become an important element in American politics. In Active Faith, Reed trumpets his cause and presents his views on how the movement can keep its clout. Much of his agenda focuses on adopting Christian values throughout society; even the religious right faces its critics.

Persuasive defense of Conservative Activism
Rating  (4)

Ralph Reed's "Active Faith" is effective in refuting the attacks against Christian Conservative "activism" (i.e. speaking out about issuses just as all other Americans have the right to do) that seem to be on the rise recently (especially after the re-election of President Bush). For that reason, the book is timely, even though it was written about a decade ago. Reed's critics may not like him any better after reading his book, but his fair minded critics would have to give him credit for being much more fair and thoughtful than those who demonize Reed and other "activist" Christian Conservatives would have us believe.

A call to action for born-again Christians

Ralph Reed expertly makes the case that political and civic activism among Christians to combat the great social evils of our day is an unalienable component of being a believer in Jesus Christ. From slavery, to segregation, to abortion, Mr. Reed explains how Christians have been the moral foundation of stubborn opposition to these great evils of history and present times.Furthermore, he unmasks how the bigoted modern left has tried to create a culture of intimidation against people of faith who dare speak out against the politically correct sacred cows of sexual license and the barbaric killing of unborn babies. He also skillfully reveals how classical liberalism, which was once a champion for the rights of the little guy, has been perverted in modern times into being an oppressor of the littlest guy, the unborn child. Those of you who want the government to stay out of your "bedrooms" (while you have abortions, I suppose - now that's kinky!) will want to take a pass on this one.

I see nothing in this book that has any connection to the unconditional love Christ preached about, and even less that resembles the life which he led.How can Reed ignore that Jesus stood with the poor and against the social structures that keep them that way - the same social structres Reed and his followers work night and day to keep?

Doesn't Jesus figure in here somewhere?

That Reed and his followers still claim that the "Christian" Coalition is a non-partisian organization, remains on of the biggest jokes in American politics in the second half of the 20th century.Reed's agenda bears little if any resemblance towards the message of Jesus Christ whose commitment to the poor and outcasts was a threat to the Pharasee's (the Reed's of Jesus' time). How anyone can read the Gospel's and subscribe to this mean spirited agenda is one of the great mysteries of the 1990's.

GO CHRISTIAN COALITION!
Rating  (5)

I have read this wonderfully Republican and Christian novel!! I recommend it to anyone who thinks that morality is falling in America. The Christian Coalition has been the greatest thing that happened since Reagon was in office! I truly believe that this novel correctly addresses all of the problems that America is suffering, and I trully believe that with the help of the Christian Coalition and the Republican Party all of our problems will be fixed! If you love Pat Robertson, then this novel is for you!
