Bad Faith

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“It is time evangelicals are better understood. They matter. Trump. Need I say more? As someone who helped contribute to fomenting the lie-based Republican strategy of a ‘pro-life’ platform back in the 1970s and ’80s, and who has heartily repented of my and my father Francis Schaeffer’s part in making abortion the divisive ‘litmus test’ it became, it is a relief to read the hard unvarnished and unlovely truth Balmer exposes in Bad Faith. America has paid dearly for the incursion of far-right evangelicals into her politics. The word timely hardly covers it in describing Balmer’s book. Anyone who wants to find the way back from the evangelical/Republican suicide pact of the Trump years needs to read this book.”

Cracking the Pot

Christian Living

“Through this fetching memoir, Berghoef shows us that religion can be wonderful but is sometimes a terrible trap. But that's just a warm up for the actual mission of this wonderful book. Great writing aside--and it is great writing--this is a how-to on rediscovering faith by escaping our frightened rigidity.”

Devils of Democracy

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Heyes reveals how the extremist delusion of 'spiritual warfare' has become a profound threat to American civility, tolerance, and neighborliness. Anyone who seeks to understand the current state of the United States--and to rescue it from delusion and conspiracy-fed lies--must urgently read Devils of Democracy.”

In Our Backyard

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“I’m the father of three and grandfather of five, so Nita Belles’s book strikes home. What she offers is knowledge of an unspeakable evil—human trafficking. Information is power. Thus we who love our children owe Nita a huge debt of gratitude. In this well-written, arresting book, we have the information we need to defend those we love most. What greater gift could a writer give parents, grandparents, and any decent person?”

Running for Our Lives

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Terminal toxicity now defines the words Christian, evangelical, and Republican. For those (like me) who still hope for the good side of faith and Republicanism to reemerge based on grace and the common good, Robb Ryerse’s Running for Our Lives offers real hope. If there’s any way back to sanity for the Republican and religious faithful post-Trump, this book offers the road map.”

The Human Faces of God

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This book is the most powerful antidote to fundamentalism that I've ever read.”

This Is Going to Hurt

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

Foreword

“McNeel has offered us a prayer for those who suffer and for the clarity of redemption that believers and unbelievers alike may share. There is a name for the redemption this book advocates: empathy.”
