A well-written mix of religion and politics - not everyone's cup of tea, but for those who have an interest in the subject matter, you will find it an enjoyable read.
Another good legal thriller by Bell. This one, you might want to know, involves "Christian" white supremacists. Not Bell's best book, but still a good read.
