Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation by Kristin Kobes Du Mez

5.0

I am begging someone to buy me a shirt that says "Jesus loves me and my guns"

But in all seriousness, this is my favorite book I've read this year due to the meticulous research and cataloging of Christian extremism, it's roots, and it's cultural implications.

I loved the tie in to masculinity, Focus on the Family, IBLP, Mars Hill, and so much more. There's a lot of trauma wrapped up in these events and education through research and empathy is a good first step.

The Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and John Wayne. Amen
