February 11

Our Endangered Values
By Jimmy Carter

An important book that addresses religious fundamentalism, relationships of church and state, and other contemporary issues.  Carter's experience as president, his Christian perspective, and his many diplomatic experiences post-presidency give the book its authority.  Carter comes down hard on the religious right (and this was written 10 years before the Trump presidency!) and their political agenda as well as their lack of tolerance.  He calls on America to be less selfish and for Christians to basically put their money where their mouth is by helping to end human rights abuses.
