Why should evangelical Christians support a Mormon candidate for President? David and Nancy French tackle this very question with facts, anecdotes, theology, and a good dose of humor. They talk about Mitt Romney's "Massachusetts moderate" label, his record on social issues, and—yes—his religion.

This book is for people who see Gov. Romney as a talented leader who might very well be the best hope for the GOP against President Obama, except a few nagging issues. This book is for people who love their country, love the Bible, and think the Book of Mormon is, well, heresy. 

Is it possible to strongly disagree with Mormonism and still support Mitt? Isn't theology more important than politics? What about the "flip flop" accusation? Is Mitt Romney a person of character and integrity?
