Critic Reviews

“Pepperdine's new School of Public Policy has assembled a remarkable cast of experts to address a crucial question: what role does faith play in the public policy of a diverse and pluralistic nation? Their answers, recorded here, are vital to the future of America.”

Given the success of faith-based groups, the key question for those who would restrict them is, Which do you want to fight more — poverty or God? This book offers new insight into how various policy players tackle this important question..... -- Marvin Olasky, editor–in–chief, World News Group
-- David Davenport, Hoover Institution, Stanford University
