Kentucky State Treasurer and Democrat Jonathan Miller believes that any legitimate analysis of American values must involve some discussion of religion. In The Compassionate Community, Miller explores ten nonpartisan values--ranging from Opportunity to Security--and uses Old Testament stories to illustrate how these values can unite all Americans. As an elected official in a "red" and largely Christian state, he has come to understand that although faith is often the source of divisiveness, the language of faith brings Americans together. Inspiring stories from the Hebrew Bible embody democratic values that all of us--regardless of faith--can share. Miller proves that these lessons have the power to strengthen our democracy for future generations.Miller, Jonathan is the author of 'Compassionate Community Ten Values to Unite America' with ISBN 9781403974082 and ISBN 140397408X.
