Publisher's Description
Is There a Divine Cure for Our Ailing Nation? In The Lamb’s Agenda Samuel Rodriguez offers a blueprint for Christian rejuvenation, a prophetic call to orient our lives at the nexus of the cross. Joining the Christianity of Martin Luther King Jr. and Billy Graham, The Lamb’s Agenda reveals the crucial connection between biblical social justice and spiritual righteousness. Getting back to the basics of Christianity means extending our efforts simultaneously in the vertical direction of God and the horizontal direction of our neighbors. In this critical moment, begrudging service and empty religiosity must be replaced by the vibrancy of the Lamb’s agenda, Christ’s plan of redemption in the world. A Third Great Awakening, says Rodriguez, awaits Christians who boldly and joyfully embrace both planks of the Savior’s cross: obedience to God and service to others.

“PRAISE FOR THE LAMB’S AGENDA “Reverend Rodriguez reveals that we are dealing with the clashing of human-interest agendas not far from those my father faced in April 1963. He also proposes the need to go back to the basic founding principles of our nation, which were biblical.”
“The Lamb’s Agenda is a clarion call for Christians to embrace truth and grace in equal measure. Sam Rodriguez believes that if we can get the balance right, America may be on the cusp of a Third Great Awakening. I pray it will be so!”
“The Lamb’s Agenda is the Christian Manifesto for the church in the twenty-first century and is a must read. The biblical principles presented by Rev. Samuel Rodriguez will revolutionize the church and restore biblical values to a culture that desperately needs renewing. Rev. Rodriguez articulates the relationship between the salvation in Christ and cultural engagement better than anyone. He is a powerful preacher who has skillfully articulated his stirring message of the vertical and horizontal meaning of the Cross into a blueprint for revival and cultural transformation.” “With the eloquent passion of a preacher, national Hispanic leader Samuel Rodríguez charges all Christians to join personal faith in Jesus with a commitment to social justice—the vertical with the horizontal. This is a clarion call for Christians to impact the public square. The Lamb’s Agenda will stimulate conversation, even disagreement, but what it seeks ultimately is to generate profound change in the status quo.”
