Michael Wear is een vooraanstaand strateeg op het snijvlak van geloof, politiek en het Amerikaanse openbare leven. Hij leidde de geloofs Outreach voor de herverkiezingscampagne van president Obama en werkte in het Witte Huis, waar hij zich bezighield met religieuze en waardegerelateerde kwesties.

In The Spirit of Our Politics, Michael Wear, president and CEO of the Center for Christianity and Public Life, draws on the writings of Dallas Willard to offer us hope and direction for making a difference in public life while breaking free of the toxic, partisan mode of political engagement ravaging our country, churches, and families today.
