Product Description
The fate of the world is at stake, so God is running for president in Lisa Venable s delightful parable. Sarah Rose, a disillusioned American activist, has retreated from Washington politics to her hometown in Minnesota to work for a friend at the Heavenly Hair Salon. Sarah has essentially given up on God, but one day is provoked by a conversation between customers at the salon about the state of the world and she begins to wonder what God would do as president of the free world. Sarah exclaims, Imagine it...people would think twice before they act. Laws would be made with love. The water would be clean again. The fighting and wars would cease. God would never allow these atrocities! Out of nowhere, a mysterious, dazzling woman drops into Sarah s life and recruits her to help in a run for the Oval Office. Torn by her desire for a better world and her anger with U.S. politics, Sarah tries desperately to resist the woman s magnetism and call to help her country in the name of love.
God for President offers a poignant reminder that listening to each other may get us farther along than shouting, that no one person or party may have the corner on right and the American way.

What Would Love Do? June 14, 2008
A deceptively easy-to-read book that is full of Great Spiritual Truths. God for President gives us a view of what it might look like if Love were at the heart of public policy and the ground of our politics. While much of the action is within the context of a presidential campaign, the book itself is not political but rather comes from a universal, spiritual perspective. An appendix offers ten ways that each of us can choose love rather than fear in our daily lives starting with "Be the Love you wish to see." The book closes with an invitation to join the author's Love Campaign. My partner and I have given the book to many friends and keep thinking of more we want to share it with.
Timely! June 5, 2008
After reading God for President, I cannot think of politics in the same way. In particular, Mary Love has stayed with me, and actually continues to provide me with inspiration. I find myself thinking, "What would Mary do or say in this situation?" and the answers come to me as if she's stepped out of the book and into my life!
A Sweet and Inspiring Story!! May 29, 2008
I am so glad I ran across this book. It's a sweet and engaging story, set in a little Minnesota town, a story about everyday people and a mysterious Mary Poppins-like character who runs for President.
This is a warm and feel-good book which inspired me to look at politics with new eyes.
Love 4 President 2008 May 26, 2008
We can really use what this is about. I am so tired of the 'old' politics or fear and irrelevancy and am totally ready for a new way.
This book is well written and should be an inspiration to all candidates and voters.
