Synopsis

In this groundbreaking new book, acclaimed researcher and author George Barna identifies, describes, and analyzes seven major “faith tribes” in America—documenting who they are, what they believe, how they vote, and what they are passionate about. Barna provides helpful insight into how these groups influence our economy, politics, and values—and what their potential is to change America. Through his in-depth study of all seven tribes, Barna has identified potential strategies that faith tribes—if they choose to—could employ to facilitate healing and restoration in American culture, and cultures across the world. The seven tribes are as follows: Captive Christians, Casual Christians, Jews, Mormons, Pantheists, Muslims, and Skeptics.

Barna provides some interesting statistics and and high level summary of different faith traditions in the United States. That part of the book was excellent. Then he gets into a weird preachy session on how everyone just needs to get along. The preachy session didn't really have anything to do with......more

Want to understand today's political scene, the values of Americans and media? Then this is the book for you. Much is explained about our differences based on factual research from George Barna's team/company. He is a nationally known researcher. This is NOT a theological book.......more
