jesus machine

Check out fresh air from NPR from today 3/5.

The show has an interview w/the author of a new book on James Dobson called "Jesus Machine".
http://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Machine-Evangelical-America-Winning/dp/0312357907/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-7467911-0036605?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1173152139&sr=8-1

It's an interesting discussion. My wife and I have gotten newsletters from Focus on the Family for years. I've been turned off as I've watched JDobson get more and more entwined w/the Republican party - so that it'd hard to tell where one starts and the other one ends.

A detail the author of the book does not mention in the interview is that Dobson now does less Focus on the Family and is more involved w/Focus on the Family Action - the polical body that's been spun off of FOTF. It's something Dobson went to great lengths to describe in newsletters - highlighting that donations to FOTF Action are not tax deductible b.c. Action does political advocacy.
