one of the most important books I've read

Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation by Kristin Kobes Du Mez
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"Jesus and John Wayne" is probably one of the most important books I've read in the past few years. To borrow an over-used adjective, this book is a MUST-READ for anyone currently or previously involved, even peripherally involved, in the evangelical church and culture. This is a concise overview into the behind the scenes people and policies which have led us to what the evangelical movement is in the U.S. today. It is ESPECIALLY important for all church leaders, both clergy and lay leaders, to have this information. It will have a profoundly powerful impact on the church and the evangelical movement if this information is known, dealt with, and informs decisions and actions going forward. READ THIS BOOK!!!
