Summary: A book for all.
Review: Don't let the title keep you from buying this book. Only one chapter is on the title. Tony ask and answers questions that many are afraid to even look at. I recomend to all.

Summary: Compassion and Truth
Review: Tony Campolo is a compassionate, thinking Christian, who has the Lewisian knack of communicating with the average guy on the street. Repeatedly he directs his thoughts to what the Bible says, and what he thinks Jesus would have done- irrespective of what his culture, or any other culture, might say. He may not always get it right- but that's what is so great about Tony- he in all humility admits that- but he truly tries to get to the center of the issues. I particularly enjoyed the last two essays on the situation of the poor, and the Christian response to both the poor, and Poverty. Other great essays on this cassette are *Do Christians Promote Gay-Bashing?
*Are Christian Talk Shows Christian?
*What About Prayer in Public Schools?
*Is Television Demonic?
*Is that Preacher Who Killed the Abortion Doctor Guilty of Murder?
*Should Christians Support Gun Control? and
*Do Christians Have a Right to Take Over America? I rate the book down to four stars only because it turns out the audio version is abridged, and this is not revealed until the conclusion. In all of these essays Tony speaks in a very disarming manner, freely discussing how has views were changed and formed. And it is always an added bonus in an audio book to get to hear the author's true voice. It is almost like a fireside chat rather than a dry rendition.

Summary: A good book to challenge why you believe the way you do!
Review: Tony challenges the reader to critically analyze why they hold certain opinions. In doing so, he makes you think about aligning your faith with political/social belief systems.
