Campaign commercials. Bumper stickers. Awkward political jokes in the break room. How do we deal with it all? What if a faithful approach to politics wasn't simply about who was going to win the next election? How might our political hope change when we encounter a God who offers us a different kind of kingdom? God isn't asking his people to be politically uninformed (on the contrary), apathetic, or even bi-partisan. God is asking us to be faithful citizens of his kingdom— a kingdom of surprising hope where the majority of his work to save the world will be done. In Kings and Presidents, authors Timothy R. Gaines and Shawna Songer Gaines help us recast our political hope by challenging the claim that history is written exclusively by the powerful. Through a careful study of 2 Kings, we will find that trusting in God's faithfulness is plenty political—having real implications for our communities, the world and the kind of political hope we can find in it all.
