The Shocking Disconnect is a book about the function of both politics and religion in modern American society. It recognizes that today numerous leaders and citizens have veered drastically off course from the Judeo-Christian values the United States was founded on, based upon the author’s research and analysis. The goal of The Shocking Disconnect and Daubenspeck is to thoughtfully examine how and why many Christians fail to impact culture and politics. It is also a pragmatic and biblical diagnosis of the root causes of the divisiveness our modern society faces. Daubenspeck’s practical knowledge of politics and Christianity work together to offer solutions that will help the systems and institutions of our country function better.

Daubenspeck’s follow-up workbook is designed for small group home fellowships and church adult discussion classes. It’s a complete, 12-session study guide that enables participants to more fully investigate the content and underlying scriptural texts introduced in The Shocking Disconnect, AND more boldly live as “salt and light” Christians today.
