Christians are called by the New Testament to emulate the example of Jesus Christ, and to shed their past lives and become more like Him. Is a nation that calls itself Christian exempted from this mandate? Have America's Christians hedl their country's government accountable to Christian standards? George W. Bush gained the White House by bearing the standard of Christian faith. But if George W. actually represented just more politics as usual, and not a shift in the Oval Office toward Christian integrity,wouldn't American Christians who trusted him want to know? This book admonishes Christians to heed the actions of those who proclaim Christ as Lord, for words without action are worse than nothing. Is it enough that George W. 'appears' pious? Is it relevant whether Mr. Bush believs he is a good Christian, if in fact his conduct demonstrates otherwise? Americans must employ vigilance to keep their eyes on Jesus Christ, and not permit their spiritual vision to be clouded by any worldly leader, including George W. Bush.
