Behind the scenes at every National Prayer Breakfast since 1953 has been the Family, an elite network dedicated to a religion of power for the powerful. Their goal is "Jesus plus nothing". Their method is backroom diplomacy. The Family is the startling story of how their faith - part free-market fundamentalism, part imperial ambition - has come to be interwoven with the affairs of nations around the world.

Reseñas editoriales
Jeremy Guskin's intelligent voice draws listeners in to Jeff Sharlet's The Family, a complex exposé of an evangelical Christian association that is deeply embedded in American politics. Guskin's emotive yet unobtrusive performance is the perfect match for this impeccably researched and nuanced portrayal of The Family, a group somewhere between a religious denomination, a cult, and a shadow government. The Family operates as a network of cronies with a common leader and raison d'être: Jesus Christ. Sharlet's portrayal is deeply disturbing, yet he retains enough empathy with his subjects to make this a complicated story of an important political force.

He not only explains how The Family operates, identifying a dizzying assortment of Members at every level of Society, but delves into its motives, failures and successes. He traces the Roots of this peculiar brand of Christianity back to the founding of the Country, through the Revivals of the Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries and brings us into the living rooms of the Faithful of today.
This isn’t a political screed. It’s scholarly in its detail and objective in its analysis, but the tale he spins is enough to make a Secular Liberal’s hair stand on end.
The depth of the roots of this Movement is stunning. The breadth of reach of its tentacles is breathtaking. Most of all, the fact of its existence in plain sight, ignored and unspoken by the Mainstream Media is astonishing.
Read this book and be amazed. More than that, be afraid. Be very afraid.

What did you love best about The Family?
Great story but the actual content goes very thin after awhile, so that this feels like a magazine article that needed to fill a book.Fascinating but thin
