What if Black America’s greatest challenge isn’t who controls the White House, but what is happening inside our own houses? For generations, Black Americans have fought for freedom, equality, political representation, and economic opportunity. Their faith in Jesus Christ was more than a Sunday tradition. It was a foundation for survival, independence, and community progress. But somewhere along the way, did we begin placing more faith in political parties than in the principles of the Kingdom of God? In Politics of Jesus and Black America, Damon K. Jones challenges Black Americans to examine political loyalties, cultural priorities, family responsibilities, and economic future through the teachings of Jesus Christ. Drawing upon Scripture, Black American history, and more than three decades of experience in law enforcement and community advocacy, Jones asks the questions that too many political and religious leaders avoid: Jesus vs. Caesar, Black Church and Politics, God’s Economy, Restoring the Black Family, Proverbs 31 Woman vs Boss Chick, Divine Black Masculine, Beyond Political Dependency. This is not a book telling you to become a Democrat, Republican, or Independent. It is a challenge to stop giving any political party unconditional loyalty while neglecting responsibilities God has placed upon us. Jesus never campaigned for Caesar. He preached the Kingdom of God. Maybe it’s time Black America remembered the difference.
