This is an ugly story, and I wish with all my heart that it had never happened and that it wasn't happening right now. It's the story of the American evangelical church, and it's the story of the corruption of that church over the last forty or so years, especially in the last eight years. It's the story of the use of the evangelical church as a political tool by the right, and it explains why many people I love and admire have become vicious scrappers against migrants and Democrats and women and people of color—Why? Because these people I love and admire are hearing these hate-filled opinions from their pastors and the leaders of their churches.

It's an ugly story, and I want everyone I know who has repeated these awful distorted comments to read this book and see where this is coming from. I want them to hear the truth about people they respect and see if their respect holds up after reading this book.
