What Others are Saying about . . .
"Every once in a blue moon, an author will appear who significantly clarifies a confusing issue . . . Mark Ludwig has written the logical sequel to Francis A. Schaeffer's A Christian Manifesto. In his new book, True Christian Government, he argues that God has revealed the kind of community and family governments he wants in society, but that American Christians have been led to believe in democracies or republics instead, where the voice of the people (through the vote) is the voice of God.
"Ludwig quotes Deut. 4:2, where God says to follow his commands, neither adding nor taking away from them. Ludwig writes "Deuteronomy 4:2 is the lynchpin for stability of man's government... Take this one scripture seriously, and you hgain a whole new understanding of government..." And how does Deut 4:2 challenge existing government? A godly country's laws are God's laws, period." If God has given us his laws to live by, then there is no place for legislatures, where humans' laws are added to, or substituted for, God's laws.
"True Christian Government works out details for how God's government applies today. Without a clear, godly reference for government, Christians are left floundering in their attempts to interact with existing governments and to know what God expects and does not expect of them."
