It s one thing to have a transactional relationship with the Trump presidency. But, as Ben Howe argues in The Immoral Majority, it s entirely different to redefine your moral framework to accommodate someone who has no business fitting into it. Howe s deeply personal call to his fellow evangelical Christians should not be ignored. - Jonah Goldberg, author of Suicide of the West and Los Angeles Times columnist This is a book the big-name evangelical crusaders who sacrificed their morals at the altar of the Republican Party do not want you to read. Howe, the once wayward son of a pastor who personally recognizes the need for true moral leadership, takes a searing look at people such as Jerry Falwell Jr., Dr. James Dobson, Robert Jeffress, and others to ask a hard but necessary question: Who will inspire future generations of Americans to worship God when our nation s biggest supposedly moral leaders are so busy worshipping political power? - Amanda Carpenter, author of Gaslighting America: Why We Love it When Trump Lies to Us and CNN political commentator Ben Howe s heartfelt book is a plea to evangelicals to understand the limits of earthly politics and a call for them to return to a path marked by grace, away from the punitive and cruel politics of this administration. Ben s deep faith and political smarts shine from every page, and The Immoral Majority is essential for understanding how American evangelicals arrived at their current moment of crisis. - Rick Wilson, author of Everything Trump Touches Dies
