Missed It
I read the New York Times Book Review on the Internet each day, but rarely look at what is on the bestseller list. I noticed this morning that President Carter's book, Our Endangered Values, has reached number one on the nonfiction bestseller list. The NYT has yet to review the book.
I talked about the book in a previous post. The book has resonated with the reading public. I recommend it to one and all.
I wish had explained my position about politics and religion as well as President Carter. I resolve to do better in the future.

Its very odd that the NYT hasn't reviewed it. I'm suprised they would overlook something that clearly has had such an impact. Any thoughts as to why? I haven't been able to look at a copy in awhile- its been the LA Times or nothing for the past couple of months- but, I mean, what else are they reviewing? Based on your excerpt, I'd imagine there's quite a lot in the book that I'd disagree with, but its clear that it deserves mention in the newspaper claiming "all the news thats fit to print"!
Curtis,
I think the book snuck up on them. They usually review nonfiction books that look as if the they will make the bestseller list. Fiction is a different story. I probably would not have read the book if I had not seen President Carter on C-Span BookTV discussing the book.
My excerpt doesn't do the book justice. I would imagine you would be very sympathetic to President Carter's explanations of how his evangelical Christian faith has informed and guided his public and personal life.
