Synopsis

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “This may just be the single most important book on modern Evangelicalism in recent years. It is bold, clear, and very well-researched.”—John MacArthur""Some will quibble over details, but no one should miss the powerful warning in this book. We face a gathering storm, as Winston Churchill warned a century ago, but this time the enemy is inside as well as outside the gates. Every convinced and unashamed Evangelical should read, ponder, and pray over this important book.""—Os GuinnessHow deeply have leftist billionaires infiltrated America’s churches?In Shepherds for Sale, Megan Basham of the Daily Wire documents how progressive powerbrokers —from George Soros, to the founder of eBay, to former members of the Obama administration— set out to change the American church. Their goal: to co-opt evangelicals for political purposes. She exposes:·        The left-wing billionaires, foundations, and think tanks that deliberately target Christian media, universities, megachurches, nonprofits, and even entire denominations·        The celebrity megachurch pastor who secretly encouraged a group of pastors to change their views on sexuality·        The revered Presbyterian theologian who backed a congregation rebelling against his own denominationThese are just a glimpse into the compromises and astroturf campaigns Basham uncovers. Many evangelical leaders are pushing their members to “whisper” about sexual sins, reconsider the importance of abortion, lament the effects of climate change, and repent of “perpetuating systemic racism.” And in exchange for toeing a left-wing line, many of those church leaders and institutions have received cash, career jumps, prestige, and praise. Basham brings the receipts, and names names.A rigorously reported exposé, Shepherds for Sale is a warning of what happens when the church trusts the world’s wisdom instead of Scripture.

The author clearly conveys that it's never a good idea to avoid the serpent in the garden, and furthermore, that it's possibly more destructive to enter into a dialogue with its surreptitious self. This book points out, that the church Universal in America has been doing both for decades.

Goodreads review by Cindy on August 20, 2024

Megan’s book is the waft of Puddleglum’s burning flesh As it wakes us up. Those who find it controversial probably don’t understand how much it resonates with many. It rings very true to our experiences. We are tired of whispering. But the very best part of the book is Megan’s testimony at the end. T......more

One of the most important books of 2024. It does a great job highlighting the progressive drift of the church and underscores the importance of fighting for right doctrine in the church.......more

Goodreads review by Dr. David on September 02, 2024

Jude warned the first-century church to “contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3). To contend involves a fight with adversaries. It requires passion and zeal for the truth. Jude was not a conspiracy theorist. Nor was he overreacting to a momentary glitch in churc......more

Goodreads review by Philip on August 02, 2024

Well written and informative, Megan Basham does a great job connecting many of the dots regarding the Marxist ideology that has infected Christian churches in recent times. There is a movement of man-centered people who claim Christianity and seem to have more concern for accommodating the culture t......more

I think this is the first time I've had to create a Goodreads record of the edition I read of a New York Times bestseller. Great stuff here. Megan kept her receipts. Lots of them. She didn't just go to CVS a couple of times and make it look like she had lots. She found shepherds for sale at Dollar T......more
