Description

California has just divided into two separate states. Daniel Bellardi, a man of strong Christian values, would like the state of North California to take a hard stand against its seemingly uncontrollable social problems of drugs, crime, homosexuality, and pornography, so he decides to run for governor. His opponent is a staunch liberal who believes Bellardi's policies may threaten the individual freedoms of the people. The heated campaign turns dangerous as the lives of Bellardi and his family are threatened. Vote of Intolerance, Josh McDowell's first novel, is a suspenseful tale that points to ways Christians can impact society by upholding their morality.

This is a finely crafted political thriller that raises knotty questions: How should we respond to divergent culture with differing lifestyles? How do we protect our families from the dangers of a corrupt culture? This book challenges our attitudes while keeping us on the edge of our seats.

A teenage girl gets caught up in bad influences, so her mother decides to move to a 'nicer' area. Lots of action, political speeches, and a more positive and realistic message than might be expected.
