Why Harry Sisson Needs Jesus

When political disagreement turns into personal hatred, where do faith, grace, and common sense fit in?

Why Harry Sisson Needs Jesus is Kateri Tavenner’s personal Christian and political commentary on the increasingly hostile state of American political conversation.

Using public political discourse involving Harry Sisson, Charlie Kirk, and Donald Trump as a starting point, Tavenner examines what happens when disagreement crosses the line into contempt—and why Americans should be able to challenge one another without losing compassion for the human being on the other side.

Written unapologetically from the author’s personal Christian perspective, this book asks difficult questions about social media, political outrage, the power of words, forgiveness, political violence, and our responsibility for the way we treat people with whom we strongly disagree.

But this is not simply a book about Harry Sisson.

It is a challenge for all of us.

If we believe someone else needs grace, are we willing to admit that we need it too? Can conservatives and liberals disagree without becoming enemies? Can Christians stand firmly for their beliefs without allowing anger to become hatred? And what would happen if Americans started praying for the people they disagree with instead of celebrating their failures?

Tavenner’s message is ultimately simple:

Harry needs Jesus. Donald Trump needs Jesus. Our political leaders need Jesus. The author needs Jesus. We all need Jesus.

Why Harry Sisson Needs Jesus is an invitation to rediscover faith, truth, forgiveness, personal responsibility, and the humanity that politics too often makes us forget.
