An era has ended. The political expression that most galvanized evangelicals during the past quarter-century, the Religious Right, is fading. What''s ahead is unclear. Millions of faith-based voters still exist, and they continue to care deeply about hot-button issues like abortion and gay marriage, but the shape of their future political engagement remains to be formed.
Into this uncertainty, former White House insiders Michael Gerson and Peter Wehner seek to call evangelicals toward a new kind of political engagement -- a kind that is better both for the church and the country, a kind that cannot be co-opted by either political party, a kind that avoids the historic mistakes of both the Religious Left and the Religious Right.
Incisive, bold, and marked equally by pragmatism and idealism, Gerson and Wehner''s new book has the potential to chart a new political future not just for values voters, but for the nation as a whole.

Explore the influential writings of George W. Bush’s speechwriter Michael Gerson, a key figure in the compassionate conservative movement, renowned for his Christian engagement and advocacy as a defender of the poor and marginalized communities.It is not an exaggeration to say that Michael Gerson possessed one of the most important consciences of his generation. As the chief speech writer for President George W. Bush, he wrote the words that rallied and ennobled the nation after the September 11th attacks. He helped design and champion Bush’s PEPFAR program, which saved upwards of 20 million lives as HIV/AIDS ravaged Africa. His famous line defending public education reform was to say that failure would amount to “a soft bigotry of low expectations.” He became one of the nation’s most eloquent columnists, who was never content to do political horse race punditry but devoted himself to the most essential causes of the time, pushing back on the authoritarianism of Donald Trump and pushing for the kind of compassionate conservatism that he dedicated his life to designing. Defiant Hope is his writings about the things he loved—humanity, faith in God, his dog, and his boys. Essays feature the immensely complicated sadness when you drop your children off at college for the first time. Another is about his public battle with depression. He also includes chapters about men and women who formed this great procession of Christian Reformers—John Wesley, Jonathan Edwards, William Wilberforce, and Olaudah Equiano—and the great causes to which they were devoted, from abolitionism to civil rights. What lingers is his gracious voice across all the roles that he played, as David Brooks writes in the introduction. What you hear is “a prophet lamenting iniquity, a father and a friend capable of bursts of gratitude and appreciation, a Christian who is sometimes buried under sadness and close to despair, but who never loses sight of that distant illuminating beacon of hope.”
