Weapons of Mass Distraction : And Other Sermons for a New World Order

Weapons of Mass Distraction is a compilation of sermons that challenge us to think and act responsibly on current social issues that promise to have a huge impact on the planet's well-being in the coming century.

Globalization, the attack on democracy, the mistreatment of women, and the growing AIDS pandemic are but a few of the topics taken on by these courageous sermons that dare to challenge the prevailing mindset that labels democratic protest as unpatriotic.

This collection of hope-inspiring messages, accessible to persons of all faiths, is anything but anti-American. In fact, they speak to the very core values held high by this country for so long.

Weapons of Mass Distraction is a welcomed theological dialogue with the great social issues of our generation, coming from the perspective of the "silenced majority" those who's protest cries against wars of aggression did not make the evening news; and who's votes in the 2000 presidential election were ignored to the detriment of millions.

Finally, Weapons of Mass Distraction is a call to action; a call to all those who "see the trouble we are in" and have the courage enough to do the work of rebuilding the walls.
