Wow, yes! I listened to Power Worhippers on audio heading to South Bend for your post-election thing (which was great!) and was blown away. What dogged and meticulous work she's done. I was supposed to meet a friend there - but he had to cancel - so I thought, well shoot I'm not gonna know many people here... The first person I met was Katherine, who introduced herself and spent a half hour talking to me. She fumbled through her bags looking to see if she had just one final galley book to give me! lol My wife and I have given a lot of money to Good news Clubs over the years, and Katherine took all my questions with generous and thoughtful answers. She is truly a scholarly gem - I'm so glad you blurbed her work, and can't wait til this preorder comes in!
I'm glad there are folks like you on Substack that can make sense of all that is going on, and the history behind it, and tell the story so we all can understand. I'm reading your book Jesus and John Wayne now. Katherine's book sounds great!
I will definitely add this book to my list! There was a time in our nation's history when men could murder, assault women, and separate children from their parents, and face no legal consequences. It was the Confederacy, of course, and I'm not convinced that this hasn't been the agenda of many evangelical churches for the past 50 years. (Nelba Marquez- Greene has called Sunday the biggest day of the week for organizing Republicans). Trump has either expressed a desire to, argued in court for the right to, or actually committed each of these 3 crimes. Last year (quoting Satan) he told Christians, "You're going to have all the power." I believe the power he was offering was lawlessness. They secretly aspire to be immune, like him, and with his pardon power, they can be.This shameless witch hunt to insult and root out women and minorities is not just craven and gross, but politically toxic for any official hoping to get reelected. Such triumphant behavior is Exhibit A as to how we know they don't plan on ever leaving.
Ordered. Thank you for being one of the first voices to help me see Trump and his ilk clearly. Hard to believe we are going down this dark path again but it gives me hope to have brave and informed Christians like you writing and speaking the truth. Thank you.
Both you and Katherine are two authors I recommend to everyone wanting a clearer view of what we’re up against. I’ve been too depressed since the election to do much reading but will order this new book as I trust the source.
Ordered. Thank you, Kristin, for your courage and determination. After reading "Jesus and John Wayne," I was happy to see that you are part of The Convocation Unscripted, which has been a huge source of information and encouragement to me. Keep fighting the good fight, and know that you are deeply appreciated.
Just listened to the Convocation and the thought came to me…Maybe we need to have our own “National Day (or even week) to pray for Americans and our country—and the world!” (Trying to come up with a different way to describe it other than”Day of Prayer”) I guess I was thinking that Trump Christians need to realize there is another way! Could it be Holy Week?
Done and I think she's positively brilliant. I've heard her speak a couple of times and as you know was on with Robby today. She really has her finger on the pulse of the reality of our current state and relates it in a way that everyone can understand. Thanks for sharing this, it's so important.
We need more voices like this. I’m a registered Republican but I voted against Trump in last November. That doesn’t mean I like Harris. Biden was weak. Harris is weak Trump wants to be king showing unrestrained “power.” Someone once said, “If you’re young and not a liberal, you have no heart; but if you’re older and not a conservative, you have no brains.” My question is this: “Why can’t you have both?” Frankly I don’t respect either party. This I do know- read Galatians 5:13-15
Meanwhile, north of the border, a sense of disbelief and betrayal by America’s most significant trading partner and closest ally … totally incomprehensible for most Canadians! Many are dusting off their history books that deal with Canadian-American relations before the 20th century to the time of the ‘defended border’ 😢!
Solidarity with good citizens on both sides of the border against this tyranny! Given the nature of the so- called ‘Freedom Convoy’ in February 2022, Canada is not immune from this ideological authoritarianism and its intended design to spread disinformation and breed chaos, uncertainty, and fear. Your book was so prophetic - thank you 🙏! Meanwhile, stay strong in what is good 😊!

She is such a kind and generous person. I’m so glad you met her!
Bradley Onishi's book "Preparing for War" came out in 2023. I wish it had received more attention. Thank you Kristin for your work and courage!
It’s also excellent.

Excellent article proclaiming the truth. Can’t wait to read the book.
I’m eager to read this latest from Stewart. I read The Power Worshippers right after competing Anne Nelson’s Shadow Network in Spring 2020.
Nelson’s work is also fabulous.
This looks amazing. Wish this came out before the election. Thank you for highlighting it.

Many of us feel betrayed by our own country. I’m sorry for what we’ve become.
