HARDCOVER EDITION

A Male Christian Conservative and a Female Jewish Liberal on a Quest for Common Purpose and Meaning

It is amazing how one America is isolated from the "other" America. The red/blue state divisions run so deep that it is possible to live without any interaction - ideological or otherwise - with those who hold different opinions than oneself. We are a people alienated, from ourselves and from our government.

The authors, an odd mix across the Blue/Red divide - one a founder of the modern evangelical movement, the other a liberal Jewish former Clinton aide - hold an extended conversation across many months, several states, and two countries - sometimes contentious, sometimes funny, exploring the idea of how unlikely pairings - and thus, the entire country - can come together. They argue that we're entering a new era in history, and now is the time to rise up to it; to make ourselves able to tackle the enormous problems in our laps; to, in effect, move mountains.
