Tony Campolo has written a lot of books over the years and has been invited to speak even in conservative churches all over the country. Among the best selling books he has authored are :

1) FOLLOWING JESUS WITHOUT EMBARASSING GOD.

Hot button issues that impact the Christian life, including how to: protect yourself from technology without becoming Amish; have a devotional life without becoming a monk, and figure out the will of God without hearing voices from Heaven.

2) LETTERS TO A YOUNG EVANGELICAL

In letters to two fictional young evangelicals, Campolo endeavors to challenge and encourage young Christians in much the same way Paul did in his epistles. In keeping with this Pauline theme, Campolo addresses his letters to Timothy, but, in keeping with his strong belief that women and men are equally fit for church leadership, also addresses them to Junia, a spiritual leader to whom Paul refers in the book of Romans. As Campolo covers such topics as the religious right, fundamentalism, dispensationalism, homosexuality, abortion and Christian-Muslim relations, he steers clear of telling his readers what to think.

3) Speaking My Mind: The Radical Evangelical Prophet Tackles the Tough Issues Christians Are Afraid to Face

In this latest book examining some of today’s toughest questions and issues:

Is evangelical Christianity anti-feminist?
Is our affluent lifestyle at odds with our faith?
Is America really in moral decline?
Is Islam really an evil religion?
Should Christian parents pull their kids out of public schools?
Was the war with Iraq a “just” war?

4) 20 HOT POTATOES CHRISTIANS ARE AFRAID TO TOUCH

AIDS, women preachers, public schools, psychological counseling, homosexuality, and working mothers-these are some of the hot issues that many Christians avoid discussing. With insight and clarity, Tony Campolo confronts today’s toughest social and moral questions while raising a few of his own.

Correct, and some of the books are good, and some of his talks are quite good, when he stays away from politics. But he is an extreme leftist when it comes to politics, and that can be a real problem.

Oh no. Since he started kissing up to Bill Clinton, Conservative Christians and churches are shunning him like the plague.

He probably speaks in a lot of Black churches and ultra-liberal “churches”. But, no, he is no longer on the Conservative Evangelical Church circuit. Trust me on this one.

To hear the lefty critics, you'd think that's all we discuss.
