Letter to the American Church

Publisher's summary

In an earnest and searing wake-up call, the author of the bestseller Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy warns of the haunting similarities between today’s American church and the German church of the 1930s. Echoing Bonhoeffer’s prophetic call, Eric Metaxas exhorts his fellow Christians to repent of their silence in the face of evil before it is too late.

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.”

Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle.

An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity. As Bonhoeffer and other heroes of the faith insisted, the Church has an irreplaceable role in the culture of a nation. It is our duty to fight the powers of darkness, especially on behalf of the weak and vulnerable.

Silence is not an option. God calls us to defend the unborn, to confront the lies of cultural Marxism, and to battle the globalist tyranny that crushes human freedom. Confident that this is His fight, the Church must overcome fear and enter the fray, armed with the spiritual weapons of prayer, self-sacrifice, and love.

Just wow

Every Christian and every person that fancy’s themselves as such needs to read and heed what is written here; for this country is in dire straits!

Now is the Time

We as Christians in the world and specifically tithe United States mist rise up right now in the power of the Holy Spirit and fight injustice against all those who are captive to the doctrine of the anti-Christ global hegemony.

Proud pastor

Thank you Eric,
What a book! Once I started reading I couldn’t stop!
You outline precisely & perfectly what ails the church in America today! Every pastor or spiritual leader MUST read this book!

Challenging and Desperately Needed

While listening, I found myself challenging a few ideas that were expressed. As I continued reading, the points the author makes not only have merit, they also cause me to seek Wisdom more earnestly, that I might put my concerns into action.

Stephanie

This book is a cautionary tale and a call to the church not to sit on the sidelines any longer but to speak up, stand up and fight back before its too late.

Never been a more timely message

What a courageous and necessary message for every individual who claims to follow Christ and every body of people professing to be His church. Thank you for boldly sharing this message!

Incredible Truth

This is an essay of incredible truth, as we look at America crumbling from within. Anyone who cares… Who sees the underlying evil… really needs to read this and consider it as a personal calling.

Life changer

A must read! Our pastor had his staff of nine start the book this week and hopefully internalize it. If he says something is valuable it’s off the charts valuable!

Great book needs a different reader

Mr. Metaxas has delivered an excellent and important book, which pastors and Christians across America need to read and digest. However the reading is virtually unbearable. I
got through it by adjusting the speed to 1.2 or 1.3 and then the constant awkward pauses were reduced considerably.

A Very Much Needed Warning and Call

Eric Metaxas has written what has needed to be written for a very long time. Every Christian needs to read this book.
