AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: How Should Christians Vote by Tony Evans

I wouldn’t normally be drawn to a book like this.  One thing I really appreciate about the christianaudio.com Reviewer’s Program is that it introduces me to lots of new and different works and authors.

Politics and Christianity.  Just putting those two words together in the same sentence conjures up bad feelings–and possibly bad memories–in many of us.  Many Christian leaders are afraid to engage the topic of politics because of its divisiveness.  Other Christian leaders think the church should be wrapped in an American flag, claiming that America typifies the ideal of a Christian nation.

Tony Evans tackles this difficult topic in How Should Christians Vote?  His book is a call-to-action, but is also a call to Christians to return to the Word of God as our primary guide in all decision-making, including how to vote.  He builds a convincing case for making the Bible central where it hasn’t been in a long time.

He bravely tackles partisan politics and its relationship with Christianity using a brilliant analogy of a football game; throwing in a deft application of the biblical account of Joshua’s encounter with the general of heaven’s armies.  This is spectacular and convicting, as I often find myself shying away from political discussions because I don’t want to offend.  Evans does a good job of being balanced without sacrificing any of the oomph of his timely message: it’s time for Christians to vote, and to vote the principles of Scripture as the people of God.

There is a lot of great material is this short book, and Mirron Willis does great job delivering the content as narrator.  Any Christian who struggles with how to vote their faith or how to live as a Christian in this current political climate should give this a listen.
