DECEIVED!
The Poisoned Fruit Of Evangelicalism
Deceived! The Poisoned Fruit of Evangelicalism explores the disturbing ascent of the Evangelical movement and its deceptively tactics. Williams exposes the tools of emotional manipulation that disguise Evangelical aspiration toward widespread political and legislative control under the cover of religious faith. Especially in the Trump era, the book reveals how the tenets of Christian faith have been co-opted in support political goals. This critical study of scripture and prophetic revelation challenge Evangelical dogma concerning controversial and evocative social issues.
Deceived! warns America of a perilous future produced, in part, when Christians compromise their witness by sacrificing spiritual ideals for political benefit. This provocative text is both an empathetic admonishment and a passionate call to action for Christians to recover their religion from the grip of deceit and manipulation.

MAIN THEMES OF THE BOOK
The Big Deception.
The author challenges Evangelical dogma that extol support of certain political positions as mandates for Christian activism. Though they seem honorable, such positions contradict the teachings and methods of Jesus.
Politics and Faith.
The impossibility of intertwining faith and politics is affirmed through scriptural study and the example of Jesus. Williams uncovers the futility of trying to accomplish a spiritual outcome using a mortal tactic.
Faith and Morals.
Paradigms about the Christian response to devolving society morals are uprooted in the text. A biblical exposition of topics including abortion, religious freedom, LGBTQ+ and Christian Nationalism, among others, bring challenging but liberating perspectives.
