Summary

The 2016 election of Donald J. Trump exposed a deep divide in American politics and culture, one that pollsters and pundits didn't seem to realize was there. But Trump did, and he used it to his advantage in ways that surprised nearly everyone, even those who voted for him. Perhaps the biggest question on many people's minds is how, exactly, did a crass, unrepentant reality TV star and cutthroat business tycoon secure the majority of the religious conservative vote?

Now the New York Times best-selling author of The Faith of George W. Bush and The Faith of Barack Obama turns his pen toward the Trump phenomenon. Through meticulous research and personal interviews, Stephen Mansfield uncovers who Trump's spiritual influences have been and explains why Christian conservatives were attracted to this unlikely candidate. The book ends with a reflection on the vital role of prophetic distance, both historically and now.

Striking description of causes and effects

When I saw the title, I thought this might be a very subjective book, explaining why Trump would be a good choice for president. This thought couldn't be further from the truth. The book goes to show in an objective manner, not landing on any conclusions of wether or not Trump is a good choice, what has made him the man he is. I did enjoy all of it - The historical and cultural contexts of him and the people who formed him in particular. Thank you Stephen for writing and reading this book in such an engaging way also!
