Reviews"Eric Metaxas has spent years researching and writing about giants of our faith; from that wealth of insight and understanding he has taken a new step. In Letter to the American Church he has issued a call to action. The message is historically informed, Biblically sound and I believe "Spirit-directed". I pray every Christ follower in our nation will take to the time to read and consider what Eric has presented." -Pastor Allen Jackson, World Outreach Church, "This book is like a bucket of cold water thrown into the face of a sleeping church. I found myself arguing with Eric over some points, but I was struck with the uncanny parallels he draws between the compliant churches in Nazi Germany and our churches today. If you are inclined to think you might disagree with what he has to say, here is my challenge: read this book and ask yourself 'where does Eric have it wrong'?. I think you will find that question more difficult to answer than you expected. I personally think this is Eric Metaxas' most important book for us today." -Erwin W. Lutzer, Pastor Emeritus, Moody Church, Chicago

SynopsisIn 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." Can it really be God's will that His children be silent at a time like this? Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as godly meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. The author of a bestselling biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Metaxas reveals the haunting similarities between today's American Church and the German Church of the 1930s. Echoing the German martyr's prophetic call, he exhorts his fellow Christians to repent of their silence in the face of evil. 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.

Bold and Courageous words to encourage us to not be silent any longer
Christians in American have been shuffled into the corner over many years and even decades giving up our public square voices. It is time to be bold and courageous. The secure world won't be the ones saving our perishing nation if we are not willing to speak up against the establishment when confronted with evil and unfairness which is pervasive in this world today.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Wake up call for the Church
Appreciated the historical perspective of Nazi Germany when the cultural war of the times was not challenged by the Full Gospel of Truth. Big shout out to Eric Metaxas for reminding readers the perils of being silence when evil is given a pass or is affirmed for the sake of the Gospel.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
