Rating:  - Authoritative and well informed - A terrific resource

Rating: - The moral basis for the progressive agenda
This book provides a great resource for progressives who want to learn the moral underpinnings for their point of view.

If you are a christian and a progressive and want to stand up to the "religious right", then I recommend this book!
