The Alpha Guide is a companion to either the Alpha Film Series or
Alpha with Nicky Gumbel. This guide is divided up by session with
an easy-to-read outline so that guests can follow along during each
talk. With simple bullet-point organization and plenty of room for
notes, the guide functions as an invaluable resource to the guest
during Alpha, and as a reference tool for individual reflection
long after Alpha. It is considered an essential resource for Alpha
guests as well as the host and helpers on Alpha. Alpha creates an
environment of hospitality where people can bring their friends,
family, and work colleagues to explore the Christian faith, ask
questions, and share their point of view. Alpha makes it easy to
invite friends to have spiritual conversations which explore life's
biggest questions in a safe and respectful way. Alpha's approach to
hospitality, faith, and discussion is designed to welcome everyone,
especially those who might not describe themselves as Christians or
church-goers. Each session includes time for a large group meal,
short teaching, and small group discussion.
Does America, as George W. Bush has proclaimed, have a special
mission, derived from God, to bring liberty and democracy to the
world? How much influence does the Christian right have over U.S.
foreign policy? And how should America deal with violent Islamist
extremists? Traditionally, politicians have sought to downplay the
impact of religious beliefs in international affairs. In this
illuminating first-hand account, one of the most renowned figures
in American politics argues that understanding the place and power
of religion - and knowing how best to respond to it - is essential
if America is to lead successfully around the world. Madeleine
Albright examines religion and foreign affairs through the lens of
American history as well as her own personal experiences in public
office. She offers a sharp critique of U.S. policy, condemnation
for those who exploit religious fervor for violent ends, and praise
for political, cultural, and spiritual leaders who seek to harness
the values of faith to bring people together. Often using new and
telling examples from her own years in power, Albright has written
a thought-provoking work that calls for bold leadership to rein in
the many religious rivalries around the globe and lay the
groundwork for a new moral consensus.
