The After Party

Toward Better Christian Politics

De: Curtis Chang, Nancy French

Narrado por: Greg Stafford, Curtis Chang

For the exhausted, the hurting, and the faithful, The After Party helps reframe our political identity away from the “what” of political positions and toward the “how” being centered on Jesus.

This paradigm-shifting book complements The After Party Project—a six-part, video-based, highly interactive curriculum that provides churches, small groups, and individuals with an on-the-ground, biblically based approach to a very complex topic.

The After Party: Toward Better Christian Politics helps listeners who feel despair about political divisiveness:

• Engage with others across political differences
• Learn specific steps to reframe political identity outside of partisan divides
• Focus on how we relate to one another as Jesus teaches before moving to the what of political topics

The After Party is ideal for:

• Republicans, Democrats, and Independents looking for renewed hope and humility for our nation
• Local leaders seeking to counter animosity toward political opponents, susceptibility to lies, and other practices that threaten the common good
• Congregations, classes, and small groups watching The After Party video series
• Pastors who want to encourage their congregants to trade their partisan mindsets for the mind of Christ

It's not too late. In today's political environment, faithfulness to a biblical how of political engagement shines as a radical challenge to both the Right and the Left. If you worry about what politics is doing to your community, your family, and your own well-being, The After Party will transform your political imagination.

It's time for us to go beyond party politics and—as Christians—believe in the true "party" yet to come.

Must read for all America Christians!

Such a breathe of fresh air in the dismal battleground of American politics. Jesus offers another way. This book will challenge where you are positioned and gives hope for a future in God’s Kingdom.

important Message

I've been going through the video series by the same name and decided to go ahead and listen to the book. The content is good, but the narrator is really bad. He has little sense for the material, and mispronounces Emmaus in at least two different ways, which leaves me thinking he is not of the faith and doesn't understand the content. I'm surprised a better narrator wasn't found. Not sure why Curtis, Russell, Nancy, and David couldn't have just read their own sections.

Start the Conversation!

Books like this one, The Liturgy of Politics, Before you Vote and many other voices are trying to help followers of Christ point one another and nonbelievers towards the “how” of Christian politics rather than the “what.”

Awesome material. Maybe a different career choice for the reader?

The content of this book is fantastic and it’s well written. I wish more effort was put into the reading.

Great Political Discipleship Resource

Found this book to be really helpful, great for Christians and church communities who feel alienated by politics today and are willing to approach political engagement with a teachable heart.
