𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆: This book explores the foundation of Christian Nationalism, how it’s rooted in a decades long quest. Nationalists seek to destroy current democracy and rebuild a new order based on Christianity, attacking each of the seven pillars of American scociety (Education, Politics, Religion, Media, Entertainment, Family, Business).
Scholar Matthew Boedy exposes how this movement—driven by prosperity preachers, extremist politicians, and right-wing power brokers—laid the groundwork for Trump’s presidency and is now advancing its agenda under his second administration. From local school board elections to billion-dollar megachurches, this multipronged effort is reshaping the country in ways most Americans don’t even realize. Discover what has motivated the key players in this movement, how they’ve operated, and what is the unprecedented role of millennial "kingmaker" Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and the new face of Christian nationalism and the Seven Mountain movement, who believes, “...we finally have a president who understands the seven mountains of cultural influence.”

𝗠𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀:
This was a well written, in depth look at a decades long quest to strongman Christian theocracy into the American government and society. Long before the current administration, this was in progress. The movement caught fire when the far right gabbed hold and instilled it into the current administration. If radical Evangelicals can control the seven pillars of society, they can control people and force their radical cult-Christian beliefs. It eye opening to read about how this cult version of Christianity is attempting to worm its way in society like a poison, using good faith Christians as pawns. Charlie Kirk is a current CEO of a organization that is spreading and attempting to impliment these views. Im fascinated and alarmed all at once.
Great thought provoking and informative read into the current workings and ulterior motives of the current administration.
