What They're Saying

Critics Review

“This is a must read for any of us who desire to be effective for Christ in an increasingly hostile environment.”

“Dr. Bock does not simply call us to think outside the box, but to think outside our bias.” – Chip Ingram, teaching pastor of Living on the Edge and author of Culture Shock
How Would Jesus Vote? is the blueprint for those who want to see serious change in this country, from politicians to those who influence them. This is an excellent work!” – Dorothy Burton, president and CEO of Christians in Public Service, Inc.
“If you don’t know how Jesus would vote, you’ll want to read this book; if you think you do know how Jesus would vote, you definitely need to read this book!” – Greg Forster, director of the Oikonomia Network, Trinity International University
“This is a much-needed attempt to think ‘Christianly’ about the moral and political dilemmas of our day.” – Duane Litfin, president emeritus of Wheaton College
“This is a must read for any of us who desire to be effective for Christ in an increasingly hostile environment.” – Joseph Stowell, president Cornerstone University
“I recommend this book for all who want to honor God in their whole lives, including their politics.” – Michael Wear, founder of Public Square Strategies LLC and former White House Staff
“Dr. Bock challenges readers to engage vigorously but respectfully, keeping to the issues and avoiding personal attack. His call for a balance of conviction and compromise is one Christ-followers of every political persuasion would do well to heed.” – Don Hawkins, D. Min., former president of Southeastern Bible College, president of Encouragement Communications and The Worship Channel
“If you are looking for biblical thinking and sound reasoning to help you navigate changing times and politics, I highly recommend Dr. Darrell Bock as a trusted guide and biblical voice.” – John S. Dickerson, author of The Great Evangelical Recession and I Am Strong
“This book is wisdom for constructive Christian civil discourse in a rapidly changing social landscape.” – M. Daniel Carroll-Rodas, Blanchard Professor of Old Testament, Wheaton Graduate School and College
“Much of the discussion in Christian circles involves interpreting biblical texts through the eyes of political presuppositions rather than understanding the biblical text and applying it to the political dialogue. Dr. Bock’s book is a corrective to this method.” – Hon. Rollin A. Van Broekhoven, Chancellor, Oxford Graduate School
