Book Presentation: Tempting Faith by David Kuo
Book Abstract
David Kuo came to Washington wanting to use his Christian faith to end abortion, strengthen marriage, and help the poor. He reached the heights of political power, ultimately serving in the White House under George W. Bush as second in command at the president’s Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. It was a dream come true: the chance to fuse his politics and his faith. However, his experience was deeply troubling. He found himself helping to manipulate religious faith for political gain. He believed his Christian values, and those of millions of Americans, were being corrupted by politics.
It is time, Kuo argues, for Christians to take a temporary step back from politics, to turn away from its seductions. Tempting Faith is a political and spiritual memoir as well as a heartfelt plea for a Christian reexamination of political involvement.

Summary of Tempting Faith (David Kuo)
Trying To Become “The Wilberforce of the Republican Party”
William Wilberforce was a British lord in the 1700s who was inspired by a serious accident to begin integrating his religious beliefs into his political activities. He began advocating policies that would help the poor, promote public education, and eliminate corruption in Parliament. John Newton, a former slave trader, underwent a similar religious transformation. Newton and Wilberforce became allies in making England a better place.
When David Kuo learned about these two men, they became his role models.
