About this listen

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“This may just be the single most important book on modern Evangelicalism in recent years. It is bold, clear, and very well-researched.”—John MacArthur

"Some will quibble over details, but no one should miss the powerful warning in this book. We face a gathering storm, as Winston Churchill warned a century ago, but this time the enemy is inside as well as outside the gates. Every convinced and unashamed Evangelical should read, ponder, and pray over this important book."—Os Guinness

How deeply have leftist billionaires infiltrated America’s churches?

In Shepherds for Sale, Megan Basham of the Daily Wire documents how progressive powerbrokers—from George Soros, to the founder of eBay, to former members of the Obama administration—set out to change the American church. Their goal: to co-opt evangelicals for political purposes. She exposes:

· The left-wing billionaires, foundations, and think tanks that deliberately target Christian media, universities, megachurches, nonprofits, and even entire denominations

· The celebrity megachurch pastor who secretly encouraged a group of pastors to change their views on sexuality

· The revered Presbyterian theologian who backed a congregation rebelling against his own denomination

These are just a glimpse into the compromises and astroturf campaigns Basham uncovers. Many evangelical leaders are pushing their members to “whisper” about sexual sins, reconsider the importance of abortion, lament the effects of climate change, and repent of “perpetuating systemic racism.” And in exchange for toeing a left-wing line, many of those church leaders and institutions have received cash, career jumps, prestige, and praise. Basham brings the receipts, and names names.

A rigorously reported exposé, Shepherds for Sale is a warning of what happens when the church trusts the world’s wisdom instead of Scripture.

Megan’s thorough, investigative approach to this book left no room for speculation. The information presented here is indisputable. She cut no corners. This book served to boost my confidence in The Church (that will not be prevailed against) but reminded me not to put my hope and confidence in organizations. The heart is an idol factory and must be guarded - no person is immune to the virus of pride, fueled by worldliness. May God grant us repentance, to His glory. Thank you for this book, Megan.

Way more than I bargained for! Christians NEED to be aware of the info in this book.

We must wake up to the fact that even those we look up to can be led astray on certain issues, and they should not be unquestioningly followed.

Wow. If you’re a Christian, read this

She did an amazing job exposing all the “shepherds for sale” doing the dirty deeds done in darkness. A must read!

So thorough!

This book should serve as a warning to Christians not seek acceptance from man but to follow God’s Word no matter the cost. The temporary gains of earthy fame and wealth have caused many to stray from God and some to completely abandon His Word. Sadly I fear many will ignore this warning because it’s more comfortable for pastors and regular church members to go along to get along.

Very Well Written Warning to Christians

Clearly there are issues. Basham builds a quality case that every evangelical should read and think about. Some of her reasoning seems a bit more like storytelling than reporting, and some of the people she throws under the bus may not deserve it. But on the whole this is worth the read and the thought it provokes.

Quality sources but maybe a bit of storytelling

Megan Basham is free because she fears God rather than man. She chooses courageous obedience to King Jesus rather than “being nice.” She isn’t nice at all, but she is kind. What a gift to our country. May God grant repentance to us who need it.

Courageous, necessary

The author establishes with certainty that outside groups are pushing heresies into evangelical Christian churches, schools and mission groups. This is an important expose.

Very well researched and eye-opening
