This book is one of the best books about the culture wars that I have read. I have recommended it to so many people. Rabbi Lapin is an observant Jew who explains why, as Jews, we should be supportive of the Evangelical Christian political viewpoint rather than fear it as Jews have done (I believe) for years. He argues that it's not Jews that Christians dislike (which many Jews believe (falsely). . . I can personally attest to this), but that it's liberals they dislike. . . with reason.
Rabbi Lapin explains that Jews and Christians share a Judeo-Christian value system which is threatened by liberal secularism. And, considering his convincing arguments and examples, one can only agree with this conclusion after reading this interesting and well-written book.
Jews and Christians raise their families in much the same way. Although our theologies differ, our value system is almost identical. Personally, I think, as Jews, we'd be better served if we could honestly recognize who our real friends are. Rabbi Daniel Lapin makes it perfectly clear who they are and who our real enemies are. Unfortunately, I think most Jews-- including my own relatives-- don't understand the truth of this yet.
I'd like to see this book rereleased and updated to include the last two elections and 9-11.
Addendum: There is a new paperback addition that was released in 2003. I would be interested in knowing if there was a new preface or something that was updated.
