This is definitely a reactionary book to a specific point in time, and while some of it is still relevant, the relevancy of some of it is fading quickly, even if it's still good to remember.
It's very top level discussion of the topics it decides to take on, which makes sense, it's a tiny book that feels like it was rushed out in reaction to news events. Not a bad thing, just more of a starting point rather than a cohesive discussion.
Either way, the retail price for this book is a shame to everything, and that's annoying (I did not pay retail for this book, I would be very upset if I had paid retail and got this teeny volume).

Surely you've seen the yard signs. What's behind the affirmations? This book engages these claims in a clear way that is at the same time respectful and thoughtful. She engages with an orthodox but generous biblical worldview that is reasoned and also challenging to Christians. If you take this book seriously you will understand, sympathize, and be encouraged to engage in the issues that are at the center of America's cultural rift.

Short but very informative, relevant, balanced and Biblically based. I really respect Rebecca putting her own struggles out there, and I'm so thankful for godly individuals like her who are determined to pursue Jesus no matter what.

A very timely and important book. A master class in cultural anthropology. She empathizes with genuine needs and then applies sound biblical and historical truth to five of the most common and influential cultural claims.
Rebecca McLaughlin is now on my short list of authors who I’ll read no matter what they write.

I'm not well-read, but it's hard to imagine a better contemporaneous book which provides a broad defense of Christian ethics. The brevity of the book works largely in its favor, but sometimes I wished for more footnotes, scriptural backing or references for claims. This is only so that should I make the same claims, I'd have more references to support them.
Highly recommend.
