Speaking My Mind: The Radical Evangelical Prophet Tackles the Tough Issues Christians are Afraid to Face

Campolo speaks his mind on women preachers, gay Christians, Islam, creation science, environmental responsibility, and political parties, and suddenly, every assumption you ever made about evangelicals is out the window.

With his trademark shot-from-the-heart style, Campolo shatters the stereotype of evangelical Christians as a monolithic mass of social conservatives. In Speaking My Mind, this prolific author and university professor takes issue with the public image of evangelicals as right-wing hardliners and claims a place at the table for socially liberal viewpoints.

Experience has taught Campolo the hard lesson that by challenging the conservative agenda, he risks condemnation by brothers and sisters in Christ who disagree with him. It's a chance he's willing to take in order to speak the truth in love, insisting that God is a God of compassion, who accepts and loves us as we are - in all our diversity. Depending on your point of view, Campolo's prophetic look at the evangelical movement will either fill you with hope or scare you to death.
