Author Brent Bourgeois sets out to uncover the reason why, when he became a Christian, he instinctively, politically, philosophically, and intellectually turned to the left, when so many of his Christian friends, co-workers, and members of his congregation turned to the right. "Left Behind: Jesus in the Age of the American Empire" talks a unique look at America's place in the world over the past sixty years, and examines how closely being a Christian fits with being an American.
