Publisher's summary

In Rules for Reformers, Douglas Wilson poaches the political craft of radical progressives and applies it to Christian efforts in the current culture war. The result is a spicy blend of combat manual and cultural manifesto. Rules for Reformers is a little bit proclamation of grace, a little bit Art of War, and a little bit analysis of past embarrassments and current cowardice, all mixed together with a bunch of advanced knife-fighting techniques. As motivating as it is provocative, Rules for Reformers is just plain good to hear.

Thanks to Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals: A Practical Primer for Realistic Radicals - a book well-beloved by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and many others - for much of the shrewd advice, and for none of the worldview.

Best work on culture war practical advice

Doug Wilson is one of the greatest gifts to the church we have had in the past century. His charismatic, wry style make this book come alive, even while working through the map of the war and giving orders to the troops. Everything about it is encouraging, and motivating. This book should be put at the front of every Christian’s reading list, immediately.

Pause any other podcast or book… start this one ASAP.

Not enough space in this little white box to correctly articulate the power behind this book. You must read this book. You must ingest this book. If you desire to make impact on this place or on the people God has woven into your story, don’t hesitate. Time is limited, then you get your casket and flowers, push play.

Content Is Great, But . . .

In my opinion, the vast majority of Wilson’s books are great! However, the monotoned narration made getting through this book like listening to stereo instructions being read to me by someone who’s drained of any serotonin or dopamine. 😑🥱😵‍💫😴

Solid and necessary content

Thank you...

Add more words. Ok I have listened to this book twice and will continue to mix it in with the others. I don't feel educated enough to review this book fairly.

Timeless truths

This book holds timeless truth, not because of the sage wisdom of Wilson, but because the principles are rooted directly in the timeless wisdom and truth of the Bible. I was challenged several times and audibly responded “Amen!” once or twice. Take the time, do yourself and those around you, a favor and read this book!
