The church often ignores its key task to speak the love of Christ to a world in desperate need. Ralph Drollinger challenges the church to do first things first, to share God's love with leaders. Most of the Old Testament was written to political leaders, by political leaders, or about political leaders. Paul's mission took him to capitols all over the known world. Prophets throughout the Bible challenge leaders to righteousness. God cares about leaders and how their leadership affects people; maybe it is time we start to care about God's work with leaders as well. Ralph Drollinger lays out the Biblical path for those who want to follow Christ as you mentor leaders.

In Rebuilding America, Ralph Drollinger makes a compelling case for the pressing mission of reaching our nation's political leaders — both at the state and national levels — with the transformative news of the Gospel. Ralph's ministry has encouraged my personal spiritual life, and I pray this book will help spark a movement to restore our nation.

It has been said that if the Apostle Paul were alive today, he would travel to Washington, DC, our nation's political capital, and to New York City, our nation's cultural capital, in order to make disciples for Christ. In an age when many Christians have written off any type of involvement with politics, here comes a welcome update of Ralph Drollinger's book, Rebuilding America. This book demonstrates the need for Christians to present Christ everywhere, even in Washington, DC.

Citizenship is one of our God-given Christian responsibilities. Drollinger has given us a clear blueprint to effective American citizenship when he urges us to prioritize sharing Christ with leaders in government, not because their souls are more precious than others, but rather because they have enhanced influence to share Christ with others and to affect government policy. And he supports his contention with numerous Biblical examples and citation, often using the original languages to clarify his message. Those who wish to be "salt and light" in the world will benefit greatly from Pastor Drollinger's Rebuilding America.

When City Council Members, state and federal leaders are strong in Christ, the course of our nation reflects that; the opposite is true also. In Rebuilding America, if what is stated here is emphasized by church leaders, the aforementioned will occur. This book contains the best way — albeit long term — for the Church to positively influence and impact the State.

Rebuilding America takes the reader on an insightful overview of the Bible's teachings and examples of the importance of ministering to "kings and those who are in authority" (1 Timothy 2:1-4). Drollinger serves as a kind of tour guide as we journey through Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation, and from Abraham to the millennial kingdom, pointing out the many instances in which God's people both prayed for and witnessed to the political leaders of the nations. In short, Rebuilding America is a much needed wake-up call for all of us to place our evangelistic and discipleship efforts "first of all" where the Bible places them.

Drollinger makes a compelling Biblical case for why it should be a priority for Christians to evangelize those in public office. Anyone truly concerned about transforming America should read this book.

In an era of heated political debate that often includes deep-seated personal animosity, Rebuilding America provides a fresh, and much needed, wind of grace and truth. My friend, Ralph Drollinger, has challenged us to keep first things first by engaging community and national leaders for the sake of the Gospel, not simply our political agendas. I am eager to see how the landscape of the church's political involvement will shift as more followers of Christ engage our leaders with Christ-like tranquility, quietness, godliness, and dignity! Ralph is right. Only when this shift occurs will we see God rebuild America!
Dudley C. Rutherford
Senior Pastor, Shepherd of the Hills Churches
While it may be politically correct for Christians to remain quiet and subdued in regards to reaching government officials, it is not biblically correct. Ralph Drollinger, in his book Rebuilding America, provides a Scripture-based strategy for every follower of Christ. I wish every pastor and every person who cared about America would read this timely message. Will you engage and will you accept your God-given assignment to be disciple-makers of local and national political leaders?

Exec. Dir.-Treas., Northwest Baptist Convention; Ministry Leader, Washington State Capitol
As a student of God's Word, I learned that New Testament saints were charged to carry the name of Jesus to all peoples, including governmental leaders. As a pastor, I saw our church impact our community and state by reaching elected and appointed governmental leaders. Now I am privileged to join my friend Ralph Drollinger as I lead the cooperative work of the 450 churches of the Northwest Baptist Convention to actively engage Public Servants with the Gospel and Biblical exposition. We need to be developing up-and-coming Public Servants for Christ everywhere!
