Wonderful book with many interesting thoughts and stories. I want to summarize it using Barry McGuire’s, “hate your neighbor but don’t forget to say grace,” but realize I’m tempted by the finite game when I do so. I don’t know the way out for our country, but I have a better understanding of our journey to today. I’ll reread the book and search for ideas aligned with the infinite game.

Sobering and profound.

A thorough and respectful investigation into the celebrities of evangelical culture that have grown in the last decades. The many conversations with those on the top, tackling the events that have been highlighted in tweets and news stories was gripping.

If Jesus came back today and saw who his people were worshipping, he’d never stop throwing up

The author, son of an Evangelical pastor, and troubled by what he and many Christians see as a derailment of the Evangelical message away from the message of Christ into secular politics during the past few decades, studied and has written a fascinating account of that history with the goal of attempting to answer how the Evangelical Church in America has been hijacked by corrupt amoral politicians in order to enhance their worldly objectives. This book is written and reads like a detective story with background, interviews with many pertinent players and a very readable theological basis for his premise that the American Evangelicals have, in great numbers, lost their way. It is a must read for anyone asking how this could have happened, particularly in the coming political season.
