.,."Carter's overarching decency, his care for the human condition
and the health of planet Earth shines through."-- "Kirkus"
""Our Endangered Values" cannot 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"
"Carter speaks eloquently of how his own faith has shaped his moral
vision...makes resonant connections between religion and political
activism..."-- "Publishers Weekly"
"This is a book of reason and tolerance but also of indignation.
The former President draws on his religious faith to comment wisely
on a wide range of 'hot button' issues. Although Carter's tone is
patient and explanatory, his views are bound to be newsworthy and
should rekindle some old fires...an eloquent personal testament
that deserves a wide readership, regardless of political
affiliation. Highly recommended."-- "Library Journal"
..."Carter's overarching decency, his care for the human condition
and the health of planet Earth shines through." -- "Kirkus"
