In Our Endangered Values, Jimmy Carter offers a personal consideration of "moral values" as they relate to the important issues of the day. He puts forward a passionate defense of separation of church and state, and a strong warning about where the country is heading as the lines between politics and rigid religious fundamentalism are blurred.

Carter describes his reactions to recent disturbing societal trends that involve both religious and political worlds as they increasingly intertwine and include some of the most crucial and controversial issues of the day.

Many of these matters are under fierce debate. They include preemptive war, women's rights, terrorism, civil liberties, homosexuality, abortion, the death penalty, science and religion, environmental degradation, nuclear arsenals, America's global image, fundamentalism, and the melding of religion and politics.

Sustained by his lifelong faith, Jimmy Carter assesses these issues in a balanced and courageous way.

    Jimmy Carter tells the reader in the voice of a personal face-to-face conversation his view, thoughts and opinions. He share a poem he wrote about his experience during his Administration. The moral dilemma he paints is one of a concerned citizen but he isn't opinionated or harsh in his delivery. A great book to read that is very balanced and doesn't pick favoritism of political party.

    A perfect read for readers outside the U.S., here is a President that made a POSITIVE impact in the Middle East, notably his involvement with the peace treaty with the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.-JuanCarletto

  • An eloquent discourse on everything from the arms race and global warming, to tolerance and the separation of church and state. Having Carter himself sharing his thoughts and research only enhances the experience.
