Donald Trump--Defender of Religious Freedom
In 2016, many Christian leaders at first opposed candidate Donald Trump. He was a former social liberal, and his occasional vulgarity, multiple marriages and divorces, and tabloid scandals made it impossible for him to defend Christian values in public life. Or so they thought. Trump nevertheless won four-fifths of the Evangelical vote in 2016, as well as the majority of the Catholic vote. And in 2020, the idea that he can't represent Christians is demonstrably false. He has been the most ardent and effective presidential defender of religious liberty and the pro-life cause since Ronald Reagan--and perhaps in U.S. history. In For God and Country, Dr. Ralph Reed draws on his deep knowledge of American history, his unsurpassed experience as a political strategist, his personal dealings with President Trump and the First Family, and his moral commitment as a Christian to show why Catholics and Evangelicals should continue to strongly support their unlikely champion. In For God and Country, Reed reveals:- The sincerity of President Trump's defense of the Christian faith--and why he has delivered policy victories when other pro-Christian presidents haven't
- Why Trump is the most pro-Israel president in American history
- How liberals hope to demoralize Christians--and thus defeat Donald Trump and reverse his pro-life, pro-family, pro-religious freedom policies
- Why Never-Trump Christians naively preach de facto political surrender
