Jim Wallis reviews David Kuo’s new book on the Bush White House and their “faith-based” initiatives (or lack thereof):

Bush talked a lot about his faith-based program, but never fought for it, according to Kuo. He believes the President’s stated campaign vision for faith-based initiatives “was one of the most important political addresses given in the last generation,” but he says the failure to deliver on those promises came before 9/11. In the end, Bush delivered only “a whisper” of the promise, and let the “compassion agenda” languish.
