The Faith of Barack Obama by Stephen Mansfield

Because of the political mess going on with the election, we've heard a lot about Senator Barack Obama. There have been e-mail rumors about his religion and other smear tactics used against him. Then we were introduced to the pastor who led him in his faith journey. People have already created an image of the man through the media. I wanted to read about his faith story.

The Faith of Barack Obama reveals all the answers. Is Obama a Christian? Does he secretly hate America? What is the faith of Barack Obama?

Stephen Mansfield, author of The Faith of George W. Bush, tells a compelling story of the journey Senator Obama has been on. He explains his childhood and of his travels and experiences abroad.

The bottom line: (so you don't have to read the book unless you want to) Senator Barack Obama is a Christian who believes there are many ways to God. He is the epitome of the postmodern generation. He is not bound by ancient Christian tradition, he has pulled from many sources to influence his faith. He is the emerging leader of what's come to be known as the Christian Left.

The Faith of Barack Obama is an easy read for anyone who wants a quick look into the story behind the media man.
