Summary of Jeff Sharlet's C Street

Sinopse

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 The Family, a religious group, has many nonprofit entities that express their peculiar approach to religion, politics, and power. One of these is the C Street Center in Washington, DC. The three Family associates who lived there were a senator, a governor, and a congressman.#2 The Family, unlike more conventional fundamentalist groups, prefers to minister to those it calls key men rather than the multitude. They believe that their members are placed in power by God, and that they are his new chosen.#3 Ensign, a conservative casino heir elected to the Senate from Nevada, was a figure of fun among his colleagues. He used his Family connections to graft holiness to his gambling-fortune name.#4 Mark Sanford, the governor of South Carolina, disappeared for several days in 2009. Some thought he was hiking the Appalachian Trail, but he was actually just thinking. His supporters wondered if this strange departure would herald his arrival. Would he announce a higher aspiration.
