MEDIA ADVISORY, Feb. 19 /Christian Newswire/ -- There's a new "theme park" people are flocking to in order to give their souls a boost. Its name? Jesusland. David Jeffers's Understanding Evangelicals: A Guide to Jesusland (paperback, 1-60034-487-9) encourages and challenges evangelicals to put their faith to work in the marketplace of ideas to bring about positive change in America. By entering Jesusland, Jeffers hopes readers will remove the misplaced fear that evangelicals are intolerant and suffering from an "us against them" mentality.

Says Jeffers, "This book is written by a layperson for other laypersons. It cuts through all the political and theological mumbo-jumbo, including the political correctness, and gets to the heart of some of today's most important societal issues."

Jeffers's no-nonsense approach in conveying these socio-political concerns stems from his love of politics and biblical scholarship. The book's primary purpose is to motivate both evangelicals and non-evangelicals alike to obey the biblical mandate to be active in politics, which he feels could have a tremendously positive impact on society. Says Jeffers, "For evangelicals, getting involved in the issues of our day is not optional. It's required if we're to be the 'salt and light' that we're commanded to be."
