Big Christianity:  What's Right With The Religious Left.  June 2006 In recent years, argues the author, religious and political dialogue in the United States has been hijacked by the so-called religious right, a coalition of conservative Christian leaders who purport to speak for all Christians but whose politicized brand of Christianity excludes many and falls short of the true gospel message. Jan Linn argues for a bigger Christianity, one big enough to embrace all of God’s people with a message of inclusion and acceptance.

What's Wrong With The Christian Right (Brown Walker Press, June 2004) With careful documentation, this book exposes the extent to which the Christian Right is influencing American politics, who its political allies are, the ways it is working to re-shape America into its own image, and the hypocrisy it practices in the process. The book also takes issue with the Christian Right's agenda on major issues, and the distorted image its extremism presents of Christianity. What's Wrong With The Christian Right is ultimately a call to all liberal minded people.

22 Keys to Being a Minister Without Quitting or Wishing to Retire Early (Chalice Press, 2003) "Jan Linn's 22 Keys is a wise and deceptively simple set of obsevations, ideas, and practices that promise to help keep the minister's ministry whole. Linn unites body and soul when he notes that a stance of openness to the unexpected is also the only posture from which one can apprehend those grace-filled surprises in ministry that, truth be told, far outnumber the hurt-filled one." - Dudly C. Rose, assistant dean for ministerial studies, Harvard Divinity School.
