Religion journalist Jeffery L. Sheler offers a look at the evangelical Christian subculture--a faith tradition that some sixty million Americans call their own. Sheler, who grew up as an evangelical, breaks through the stereotypes to examine not just the big-time ministers but also the ordinary people who make up this dynamic movement. Traveling across the nation, Sheler visits today's evangelicals at work, at home, and at worship to discover how their faith shapes their lives and how they are influencing the public debate in this country.
