We are living in angry times. No matter where we go, what we watch, or how we communicate, our culture is rife with conflict. Unfortunately, Christians appear to be caught up in the same animosity as the culture at large. We are perceived as angry, judgmental, and defensive, fighting among ourselves in various media while the world looks on. How have we failed to be a people of reconciliation and renewal in the face of such tumult?

It gave me a framework to understand better than my own words of being pulled to the left and right - but staying in the middle.

Being blinded by the pull from both sides in my life this book helped me see through the intentions to the core of our need for unity, humbleness and serving others in the midst of Christ’s manifest presence. Bringing together rather than being taken and brain washed by the enemy making machine that separates the church. The church is not the enemy! Also, his perspective of banners and slogans being used to divide for political gain was priceless. Lord, keep me from participating or creating these banners in my own life and ministry.

How did a libertine who lacks even the most basic knowledge of the Christian faith win 81 percent of the white evangelical vote in 2016? And why have white evangelicals become a presidential reprobate's staunchest supporters? Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping account of the last 75 years of white evangelicalism, showing how American evangelicals have worked for decades to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism.

Finally a way to understand how we got to this point in the Evangelical American church
Revisado: 02-01-21
I finally understand the difference between biblical passages and Christian Nationalism within the evangelical subculture. I grew up as a missionary kid, so was shielded from parts of this, but still saw it big time.
It’s crazy how issues like paternalism, discipline, guns, machismo, sexism, the Trinity etc., have been manipulated and twisted for political and financial gain and power. This book shows how I (and many others with me) went from supporting a Sunday School teacher, awesome, southern Baptist president to turning our backs on him to follow Ronald Reagan hook, line and sinker. Why? He better portrayed the John Wayne image of what US Christians wanted in leadership. Jesus’ leadership was not like this. Oh, may I never fall for these cultural tricks again! I have seem how it is affecting Latin American politics and it breaks my heart.
Many of these leaders probably have good intentions. I did when I promoted a lot of these things. Please - may I only follow Jesus, only Jesus and not my American Christian heritage.
