Story
In Toxic Empathy, Allie Beth Stuckey argues that empathy has become a tool of manipulation by left-wing activists who bully people into believing that they must adopt progressive positions to be loving. She explores the five most heated issues through which toxic empathy is deployed: abortion, gender, sexuality, immigration, and social justice. Progressives use catchy mantras to present their perspective as empathetic, like “abortion is healthcare,” “love is love,” or “no human being is illegal,” but in each case, they ignore the other side of the moral equation.

Christians need to hear this
Reviewed: 10-25-24
Christians need to stand up to the manipulation and gaslighting this culture is trying to throw at us. There is no love without truth. We need to return to living our lives based on what God requires of us, and stop letting the culture redefine our terms.

The logic of a Christian worldview
Reviewed: 09-25-24
Asking someone why they believe what they believe can lead to great conversations. If someone doesn't believe the Bible, we can also ask why not? Their answer will give us a great starting point... especially if we ask them with what would they replace it? By showing people we are interested in their beliefs, they might be more open to hearing ours. As such, we might be able to clarify some logical fallacies, like Christianity and science don't mix. It's the only worldview that doesn't contradict itself.

Reviewed: 09-01-24
There has been much talk about this book by people who've never even read it. They are simply going off other's defensive responses. I would encourage you to actually read this book. You may be surprised at the left wing monetary connections discovered by this investigative journalist who actually believes God's Word is clear. She acurately calls out leaders who fear man more than they fear God.

Scholarly exegesis
Reviewed: 06-20-24
Piper's response to Wright is full of grace and respect for the scholarship of his brother in Christ. I loved that. So much of this book includes long excerpts from Wright's book to clarify each argument and to unpack them one at a time. Piper painstakingly exegetes scripture after scripture to explain why this "new interpretation" of Paul supports the very arguments Paul fought so hard to reject! These doctrines didn't start with the Reformation, They started with Christ, the Apostles, and the Living Word itself.

Story
No ideological assault has been more ferocious than radical feminism's 40-year war against women. And no battlefield leader has been more courageous than Phyllis Schlafly. In these dispatches from the battlefront, feminism's most potent foe exposes the delusions and hypocrisy behind a movement that has cheated millions of women out of their happiness, health, and security.

Phyllis Schlafly at her best!
Reviewed: 04-26-24
Schlafly earned her masters in government from Radcliffe College in 1945 and worked for the American Enterprise Association, a conservative think thank that later became AEI. After marrying and raising a family of six children, she earned a law degree from Washington University in 1978. She is best known for stopping the radification of the ERA amendment in 1982 on the grounds that it would remove all protections that women (who don't want to be treated like men) now enjoy.
A stalwart legend of conservative ideals and debate for over 60 years, Schlafly wrote this book at the age of 82. She brilliantly and unapologetically presents the arguments for the irreplaceable role that wives, mothers, and homemakers contribute to the family and society as a whole, especially for the health and wellbeing of our precious children. Children are not inconveniences to be raised by the state. In full Schlafly form, she tackles the harms of feminism in our society from an economical, political, and cultural context. She exposes the corrupt agenda of the left, and the under-handed lies employed to perpetuate it.

In virtually every way that can be measured, Gen Z’s mental health is worse than that of previous generations. Youth suicide rates are climbing, antidepressant prescriptions for children are common, and the proliferation of mental health diagnoses has not helped the staggering number of kids who are lonely, lost, sad and fearful of growing up. What’s gone wrong with America’s youth? In Bad Therapy, bestselling investigative journalist Abigail Shrier argues that the problem isn’t the kids—it’s the mental health experts.

No one but a parent is the expert on his child. Don't abdicate that responsibility to someone else. Let them experience real life, not life on a screen or in a bubble. Teach them. Let them fail. It's the only way they'll discover their strengths and what they can truly accomplish. Sometimes we just need to get out of the way.

We’ve all seen the memes that populate the internet: live your truth, follow your heart, you only have one life to live. They sound nice and positive. But what if these slogans are actually lies that unhinge us from reality and leave us anxious and exhausted? Another Gospel? author Alisa Childers invites you to examine modern lies that are disguised as truths in today’s culture. Everyday messages of peace, fulfillment, and empowerment swirl around social media. On the surface, they seem like sentiments of freedom and hope, but in reality, they are deeply deceptive.

Dangerous lies meant to deceive the Church are working.
Reviewed: 02-03-24
Honest. Shoots straight to the heart of why we want to believe the lies we believe. We must be on guard for cultural words and ideas that "sound nice," when actually they sabotage sound Christian doctrine. We are NOT enough and never will be. To tell anyone that "they are enough" sounds nice. However, this empty platitude perpetuates a pressure to perform that we were never meant to bear. It actually supports the notion that Christ died in vain. We need Christ. We will never be enough without Him. In fact, anyone not firmly attached to the Vine will fall for anything.

Marc Morano’s analysis of the proposed Green New Deal is eye-opening and damning. Morano exposes the program as a far-left agenda filled with progressive policies disguised as a way to save the planet. No matter what the environmental scare-of-the-day may be, Morano says, the same solution is always proposed - and that solution should scare us. Morano clearly reveals how the Green New Deal will lay a path for “global governance”, resulting in less freedom, less sovereignty, massive government bureaucracy, and significant, crippling wealth redistribution.

Easy-to-read and hard-to-put-down! Morano knows his stuff. He loads this book with quote after quote of progressives incriminating themselves and this movement. As usual, logic, facts, and science are on the side of conservatives. Emotion, scare-tactics, and control are the game plan of the ones pushing this dangerous, wasteful, and audacious idea. Loved it.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn famously said that one of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming totalitarianism can't happen in their country. Many American Christians are making that mistake today, sleepwalking through the erosion of our freedoms. Live Not by Lies will wake them and equip them for the long resistance.
