Synopsis

What should Christians think about Donald Trump? His policies, his style, his personal life?

Thirty evangelical Christians wrestle with these tough questions. They are Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. They don’t all agree, but they seek to let Christ be the Lord of their political views. They seek to apply biblical standards to difficult debates about our current political situation.

Vast numbers of white evangelicals enthusiastically support Donald Trump. Do biblical standards on truth, justice, life, freedom, and personal integrity warrant or challenge that support? How does that support of President Trump affect the image of Christianity in the larger culture? Around the world? Many younger evangelicals today are rejecting evangelical Christianity, even Christianity itself. To what extent is that because of widespread evangelical support for Donald Trump?

Don’t read this book to find support for your views. Read it to be challenged with facts, reason, and biblical principles.

Goodreads review by Linda on July 06, 2020

A much needed book! I have been so frustrated during the past four years because it seemed that so much of the media equated Christian with Trump support. As a life-long Christian I have been horrified with his presidency, but couldn't articulate it well. This book provided so much, even beyond the p......more

Goodreads review by Christopher on July 09, 2020

I read this book over the course of about a week, shortly after it came out. The book was less for me, however, than it was for another person; I wrote notes in the margins and underlined passages that I felt were particularly relevant. I no longer have the book, as it has been handed down to anothe......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on September 27, 2020

I want to write this book review, but I don’t. I’ve been pretty good this election season, which is to say that I’ve been lousy. Besides my daily scorekeeping on Donald’s dalliances, I’ve avoided public rants—for the most part. I mean, sure, I’ve de-friended and re-friended my mom on social media th......more
