Desmond Tutu has become one of the greatest moral voices of our time. In his new book, God is Not A Christian, an essential collection of his most historic speeches and writings, we witness his unique career of provoking the powerful and confronting the world in order to protect the oppressed, the poor, and the victims of injustice.

Tutu first won renown for his courageous opposition to apartheid in South Africa, but his ministry soon took on international dimensions. Rooted in his faith and in the values embodied in the African spirit of ubuntu, Tutus uncompromising vision of a shared humanity has compelled him to speak out, even in the face of violent opposition and virulent criticism, against political injustice and oppression, religious fundamentalism, and the persecution of minorities.

Arranged by theme and introduced with insight and historical context by Tutu biographer John Allen, God is Not a Christian: and Other Provocations (HarperOne, May 2011; ISBN 9780061874628; $ 23.99) takes readers from the violent clashes in South Africa over Apartheid to the healing work of the Truth and Reconciliation Committee; from Trafalgar Square after the fall of the Berlin Wall to a nationally broadcast address commemorating the legacy of Nelson Mandela; from Dublin, Irelands Christ Church Cathedral to a basketball stadium in Luanda, Angola. Whether exploring democracy in Africa, the genocide in Rwanda, black theology, the inclusion of gays and lesbians in the church, or the plight of Palestinians, Tutus truth is clear and voice unflinching.

In a world of suffering and conflict, where human laws all too often clash with the law of God, Tutus hopeful, timeless messages become more needed and powerful with each passing year. The strength of principle found in this collection can inspire younger generations of every stripe to pick up Tutus mantle. GOD IS NOT A CHRISTIAN invites us to participate, to engage the spirit of ubuntu, because without us, God has no eyes; without us, God has no ears; without us God has no arms or hands. God relies on us.

Desmond Mpilo Tutu was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for his efforts to end apartheid in South Africa. In 1986, he was elected Archbishop of Cape Town, the highest position in the Anglican Church in Southern Africa, and in 2009 he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Americas highest civilian honor. Tutu serves as Chairman of the Elders, a group of global leaders who campaign for justice and human rights worldwide.

John Allen is the managing editor of allAfrica.com and has served as director of communications of South Africas Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The author of the Tutu biography Rabble-Rouser for Peace, he lives in Cape Town.

Praise for Desmond Tutu:

For decades (Tutu) has been a moral titan, a voice of principle, an unrelenting champion of justice, and a dedicated peacemaker. . .an outspoken voice for freedom and justice in countries across the globe; a staunch defender of the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons”

Pizza Man Herman Cain Will Not Deliver

From his faulty recession predictions in 2008, to his support of TARP to his resistance to a Federal Reserve audit, GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain is unqualified to shepherd America to honest economic recovery, asserts Revolution PAC.

As conservatives, including Rep. Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich, rally for fiscal transparency, Cain a former Kansas City Federal Reserve chairman continues to dismiss the push for a thorough audit of the public-private agency. While Cain asserts in his new autobiography, I dont think youre going to find anything to audit on the Federal Reserve, Pauls Domestic Monetary Policy subcommittee has overseen a GAO investigation of the Feds crisis response emergency lending that uncovered $ 16 trillion in emergency loans to foreign banks.

Cains pattern of misjudgment and obfuscation is not a recent phenomenon. Just one week before the economic collapse and subsequent banker bailouts in 2008, he went on the record to defend the strength of the financial markets and suggest an imaginary recession.

He was completely clueless about the condition of the economy right up to the moment of collapse, notes Revolution PAC Chairman Tom Woods.

Cain proceeded to wholeheartedly back, in big government liberal fashion, the controversial Troubled Asset Relief Program, which he deemed a win-win for the taxpayer. He flippantly argued, The ownership by the taxpayers is going to be relatively small and nowhere near the amount needed to be called nationalization. So whats the problem?

We need sweeping, systemic changes, carried out by a real supporter of the free market who sees the whole picture, Woods urges, not trivial tinkering by Herman Cain or his friend Mitt Romney, whom he endorsed in 2008.

Woods continues, Dr. Paul specifically warned in 2001 that Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve, whose NASDAQ bubble had just burst, were in the process of creating a housing bubble. That Ron Paul is the candidate best equipped to lead us back to economic prosperity is nearly undisputed.

A recent Harris Poll revealed that Ron Paul would prevail over Barack Obama 51 percent to 49 percent in a general election race. Paul stands at 13 percent in New Hampshire, site of the first-in-the-nation primary.

Revolution PAC is bolstering Ron Pauls consistent, constitutional message with targeted TV advertising campaigns complemented by billboards and radio ads in key primary states. Proceeds will support the airing of game-changing commercials, like the game-changing Plastic Men” in the months to come. Unlimited donations by individuals, businesses and organizations can be made to Revolution PAC.
