Review
"Adds significantly to our understanding of the constitutional arguments over the separation of church and state and the unique responsibility of faith-based counseling."--History: Reviews of New Books
"Most important to note is the author's exceptionally well-balanced account of the lawsuit. Weitz does not take sides; there are no villains in this story. Rather, Weitz takes scrupulous care in presenting the issues as the participants saw them, writing with sympathy for the Nallys and respect for the religious principles of Grace Community Church and its leaders. . . . There are no villains in this book. Moreover, the protagonists and their causes are not without flaws. Ultimately, it is this aspect of the book that has led me seriously to consider adopting it for an undergraduate course. The suicide of Ken Nally will surely touch students. They are also likely to see the implications for counseling paraprofessionals--religious or secular--should the Nallys' arguments have prevailed. Weitz raises tough questions with no easy answers. This makes for a good teaching vehicle."--Law and Politics Book Review
"A fascinating and readable tale that should have broad appeal to lawyers, religious leaders, and scholars in both law and religion, as well as the general public."--Derek H. Davis, author of Religion and the Continental Congress
"As we move ever further in the direction of looking to 'faith-based institutions' to administer basic programs of the welfare state, the issues raised by Weitz--including whether church officials should be exempt from the same kind of liability that applies to secular professionals--will become ever more important."--Sanford Levinson, author of Constitutional Faith
"A riveting story about an important case."--Melvin I. Urofsky, author of Lethal Judgments: Assisted Suicide and American Law
