Our Endangered Values America&39s Moral Crisis [Paperback]

President Jimmy Carter offers a passionate defense of separation of church and state. He warns that fundamentalists are deliberately blurring the lines between politics and religion.

As a believing Christian, Carter takes on issues that are under fierce debate -- women's rights, terrorism, homosexuality, civil liberties, abortion, the death penalty, science and religion, environmental degradation, nuclear arsenals, preemptive war, and America's global image. Our Endangered Valuescannot be safely ignored.

--The Wall Street Journal Carter offers an unusual combination: a man of faith and a man of power....By adding his own voice to the discussion, Carter reminds us of a time when religion was tied to such virtues as humility and such practices as soul-searching...he is undoubtedly one of our finest human beings.

-- Alan Wolfe,The Washington Post Book World The prolific former president writes eloquently about how his faith has shaped his moral vision.

--The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Carter has come to the defense of our national values. We need a voice from the not-so-distant past, and this quiet voice strikes just the right notes.

-- Garry Wills,The New York Review of Books
