Woke Jesus - by Lucas Miles (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

"In this bold, analytical, and readable book, Miles names names and dismantles the fallacy of progressive Christianity."

--ERIC METAXAS, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author and Host of the Nationally Syndicated Eric Metaxas Radio Show

Today's social justice movements call for equality, civil rights, love . . . solid Christian values, right? What if there is more to social justice than Christians understand? Even worse: What if we have been duped into preaching ideas that actually oppose the Kingdom of God?

Woke Jesus uncovers the real dangers to Christianity and America from the Christian Left, Progressive or Woke Christianity. These radical alternatives abandon traditional biblical interpretations regarding marriage, gender, racial equality, justice, original sin, heaven and hell, and salvation, replacing them within a new fabricated morality. This fabrication is built around political correctness, cancel culture, hedonistic values, obsession with public health, allegiance to the leftist state, universalism, and virtue signaling.

Author Lucas Miles-- a pastor and trusted voice in the American church who has consistently addressed some of the most challenging topics in religion--not only outlines how the radical left wing is co-opting Jesus for their own anti-religious views, but also provides a call to action for Christians to resist the siren song of social justice and Wokeism. Rather than ignoring the problems within the church, Miles shows Christians how to grow in the truth of God's word by expanding their understanding of solid orthodox theology.

The church's best days are still ahead!

Praise forTHE CHRISTIAN LEFT: How Liberal Thought Has Hijacked the Church by Lucas Miles

"While many have bravely addressed the disaster Marxism creates within the state, few have applied that same level of courage in calling out socialist dispositions dwelling in the pulpit. As a former pastor and conservative politician, I can attest that our nation's churches need a voice like Pastor Lucas Miles' to help cut through the sophistry of our clergy who have exchanged the gospel for an ideology that runs contrary to Christ. THE CHRISTIAN LEFT deftly captures the unique and subversive threat that Marxist thought poses to Christianity, as well as to our great republic. Every Christian in America needs to read this book."

-- Mike Huckabee, Host, Huckabee on TBN; former Governor of Arkansas

"In his new book, Lucas pulls back the curtain on the Left's nefarious attempt to commandeer the church and to rewrite the very foundation of Christian faith. As a pastor, author, and Christian media personality, Lucas is taking a great risk in blowing the whistle on their attempts - I commend him for undertaking this task and standing strong as a defender of the faith."

-- Mike Lindell, CEO, My Pillow, Inc.

"Lucas Miles is the humblest pastor I've ever met. His authenticity and genuine love for others is what elevates his ministry and this book beyond just being commentary on the condition of our culture. THE CHRISTIAN LEFT is a love letter to a wounded nation and to future generations whose knowledge of our history has been twisted! In these days of confusion and deep divide, Pastor Miles reminds us that only the truth of the gospel will bring us the clarity we so desperately need."

-- Stephen Baldwin, Actor; Author; Evangelist

"Christianity is in stark opposition to socialism, which is why the Left will never be satisfied until they have reduced the cross to kindling and the church to ashes. More than ever, believers need to be informed and fully persuaded. We need more books like THE CHRISTIAN LEFT to help us be just that."

-- Kevin Sorbo, Actor; Director; Producer; Author

"Lucas Miles pulls no punches in THE CHRISTIAN LEFT. No matter what side of the aisle you hail from, he delivers coherent, well-documented gut punches that help distill what it truly means to be a follower of Christ today."

-- Jennifer Taylor, Actress, God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness

"It is no secret that socialism has gained a significant foothold within the Democratic Party, but less noticeable, and perhaps even more concerning, is the silent rise of a social gospel among left-leaning pastors and Christian leaders. In THE CHRISTIAN LEFT, Miles unleashes a brave bright light of biblical truth upon the latent Marxist ideology present within the four walls of the church."

-- Kevin McCullough, Syndicated Radio Talk Host; Columnist; Author

"The church is under siege at a doctrinal level. Leftists have invaded our sanctuaries and cathedrals, attempting to reframe the gospel to appease their distorted view of life and reality. The result is that many in the body of Christ are confused and ignorant of the truth. In THE CHRISTIAN LEFT, Lucas boldly addresses the problem head-on, calling out those in error and providing balance and love to help get us back on track. We need this book!"

-- Abby Johnson, Former Planned Parenthood Clinic Director; Founder, And Then There Were None and ProLove Ministries

"Lucas Miles masterfully explores the slow drip of theological malfeasance that can steadily seep into the hearts and souls of believers, many times without their knowledge. His exploration of this slow and steady erosion of truth one that is brought about through a malignant eclipse of biblical orthodoxy by a tragically deficient ideology of the self is an essential read for any believer attempting to understand what in the world is happening in our world."

-- Billy Hallowell, Author; Journalist

"As a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Air Force (retired), I've seen firsthand how Leftist policies have endangered our soldiers and jeopardized our national security. But as Miles expertly points out, the fallout from the Left also extends into our houses of worship and ultimately into the moral fabric of the family. Filled with rich historical references, piercing truth, and faith-filled hope, THE CHRISTIAN LEFT is capable of illuminating the way out of the dark void of modern progressive culture."

-- Lieutenant Colonel Robert Buzz Patterson, United States Air Force (Retired); White House Aide & Former Carrier of the Nuclear Football; Author, New York Times bestseller Dereliction of Duty: The Eyewitness Account of How Bill Clinton Compromised America's National Security

"The twilight of Christianity has taken most Christians by surprise, but the truth is, it's been coming for a long time. The West has been living off the fumes of a vibrant Christian civilization for the last hundred years, and the tragedy is, the demise of the church has been an inside job. In his remarkable new book, THE CHRISTIAN LEFT: How Liberal Thought Has Hijacked the Church, Lucas Miles does a masterful job of diagnosing the problem and mapping out exactly how it happened. If you're frustrated at the lack of influence of today's church and unsure what to do about it, then this book is for you. The clock is ticking, and it's time to act."

-- Phil Cooke, PhD, Filmmaker; Media Consultant; Author, Maximize Your Influence: How to Make Digital Media Work for Your Church, Your Ministry, and You

"We have all seen how quickly socialist philosophies have worked their way into our American culture. But what many Christians fail to see is how quietly these mindsets have taken root in the church. Pastor Lucas systematically exposes the prevailing church doctrines that have contributed to a near pandemic of Christians embracing socialist thought and guides us to biblical solutions that will restore the church and save our country."

-- David and Jason Benham, Best-selling Authors; Entrepreneurs

"Pastor Lucas' well-researched book, THE CHRISTIAN LEFT , points a firm but loving finger of biblical truth at the fallacies of the Left and the failings of the Right as they both attempt to define Christianity. Bound to push everyone's buttons, Lucas offers sound Scripture-based solutions to the challenges pointed out in this amazing book!"

-- Edgar Struble, Producer, God Bless the Broken Road; Music Director, The Academy of Country Music Awards

"As the Left continues to fabricate seemingly endless division and chaos, patriots and believers are no longer able to enjoy the luxury of staying silent or sitting on the sidelines. We must rise up in love and arm ourselves with the truth. In THE CHRISTIAN LEFT , Lucas Miles tackles faulty mindsets head-on and supplies an ocean of wisdom. We need more voices like Pastor Lucas Miles, willing to stand up for what they believe in."

-- Brandon Tatum, Former Arizona Police Officer; CEO, The Officer Tatum; Founder, TatumReport.com; Christian Speaker; Social Media Influencer

"THE CHRISTIAN LEFT is a fascinating read, exposing what the Left has done to erode the truth of Christianity and the American way. Lucas is one of many Paul Reveres crying out in the night. He is not crying 'the British are coming, ' but instead 'the Marxists are coming.' We would all be wise to listen."

-- Brian Gibson, Pastor, HIS Church
