*Christian Century magazine review says Thieves in the Temple is "must reading"

"G. Jeffrey MacDonald writes with a journalist's eye and a preacher's heart. The crisis he identifies in this provocative and timely book has serious implications not only for America's religious life but also for our broader culture and politics."

-- Dan Rather, Global Correspondent and Managing Editor of HDNet's Dan Rather Reports

"Thieves in the Temple is the finest, most perceptive book on Protestant life in America in a very long time.”

-- Randall Balmer, Professor of American Religious History at Barnard College, Columbia University
