Following Jesus in a Politically Divided world: An interactive Guide to 21 Questions on Christianity & Politics

Jesus has given us the tools to stormy horizons the way Jesus showed us: fully awake, yet filled with peace. Authors John Whittaker and Daniel McCoy invite you to answer 21 questions, including:

  • What is the purpose of government?
  • Do you know the times you’re living in?
  • What hills are worth dying on?
  • How do you pray for your nation?
  • How do you figure out what’s right and wrong as a Christian?
  • What does Christianity teach about the bedroom, womb, deathbed, environment, and battlefield?

“We need to help women develop their voice and express their faith confidently and clearly.”

As a mom, Anessa Westbrook has helped disciple her daughters with intentionality and care. As a missionary, she and her husband have applied disciple making principles in multiple contexts. As a researcher and professor (Harding University), she has studied these principles extensively and guided students in applying them in their own ministry contexts. In this free eBook, Anessa will guide you as you reach and disciple women in your church and community.
