The author's perspective is based on Christian principles and pulls the effectiveness and practicality of Jesus' teachings on relationships into sharp focus. The author offers no apologies for calling on the Christian community to reassess their perceptions on issues facing our country. For those of us who are disturbed by what's going on, she makes her case for an about-face attitude adjustment in the way we relate to others, especially those who are "different" or think differently from us.
