{"product_id":"9781933993744","title":"Left Behind: Jesus in the Age of the American Empire","description":"Are you a Christian, an American, and a Republican? Why? Author Brent Bourgeois sets out to uncover the reason why, when he became a Christian, did he instinctively, politically, philosophically, and intellectually turn to the left, when so many of his Christian friends, co-workers, and members of his congregation turned to the right. Left Behind: Jesus in the Age of the American Empire takes a unique look at America's place in the world over the past sixty years, and examines how closely being a Christian fits with being an American.\u003cp\u003e\"A prescient book if there ever was one, Left Behind: Jesus in the Age of the American Empire, foretells a major shift in cultural assumptions. No longer will being a follower of Jesus equate conservatism or strict adherence to the Republican script. Brent carefully reveals why and he does it with vulnerability and a remarkable lack of vitriol (thankfully). Bush-bashing is the easy road. Brent points to a better way: the long road of obedience to Jesus and his invitation to a new kind of citizenship. This book is a must for the prideful American church. I pray we read it.\"\u003cbr\u003e-Charlie Peacock, author, At the Crossroads, New \u003cbr\u003eWay To Be Human, and founder of Art House America\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apocryphile Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49972842168560,"sku":"9781933993744","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781933993744","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
