Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Sample Book Insights:

#1 Many evangelical supporters of Trump believe that his bad manners are simply a reflection of his tough stance on abortion, and they don’t see how his words can ever hurt anyone. However, this is not how the biblical writers viewed words, and it fails to appreciate that Trump’s caustic speech will actually hurt America more than do sticks and stones.

#2 Trump’s insults and mockery of his political enemies is the epitome of contempt, and he does it every day. He threatens to unravel the last threads of decency in our culture, which will have disastrous consequences for America and evangelical concerns.

#3 The tongue is a wanton killer. With our tongues, we bless God our Father, but with the same tongues we curse the very men and women he made in his image. Curses and blessings out of the same mouth! This is what happens when we don’t use our words responsibly.

#4 Trump’s critics are not only degrading American culture, but they’re also teaching us how to treat our political and cultural enemies. If we don’t change our ways, we will end up with a revengeful and contemptuous government that treats the unborn with disdain.
