“If you are dismayed by anti Christian culture and wonder what you can do, this is a book you need to read. Phil Carlson is a careful thinker who completed incredible academic programs while retaining theological clarity. If you or your children aspire to be a strong academic while building a stronger Christian faith, this is a needed book in your library.”
- Ben Voth, Director of Debate & Speech and Professor of Rhetoric in Dedman College at Southern Methodist University
“Many parents are wondering what is happening at Christian universities today. What are they teaching that is turning so many of our kids’ and loved ones’ hearts not toward Christ, but in the opposite direction? Phil Carlson explains, in simple terms, a deep-rooted problem that has been growing like a cancer in our once-great Christian institutions.”
- Grant Barney, Senior Pastor, Calvary Chapel North Texas
"Our culture didn’t drift here by accident: it was shaped, slowly and intentionally, by forces that often go unexamined. In The Gaslighting of American Christianity, Phil Carlson brings clarity to that journey with refreshing honesty and plain-spoken insight. More importantly, he doesn’t just diagnose the problem, he offers a clear, practical roadmap forward, rooted in the unchanging Truth of the Gospel and the scriptural calling on each of our lives.
“Our culture is worth redeeming, not just for redeeming’s sake, but because of who it is made of: people created with purpose, and people in need of a Savior.
“Phil’s message is both timely and necessary. It challenges, educates, encourages, and ultimately points us back to what matters most!"
- Connor Hillard, CEO, Pinnacle Forum America
“My son's decision to go to a state university drove me to intense prayer. I had heard the data, and I was afraid he could lose his faith in Jesus and drive a wedge into a family legacy of people who loved and followed Christ. Thankfully, he did not lose his faith, but if I had had this book, I would not only have known the data, but I would have understood how it came to be and added that to the warnings I gave my son.
“The Gaslighting of American Christianity is an important book. Not just for parents, but for everyone who is involved in the transfer of leadership from one generation to another- teachers, business leaders/owners, community leaders/politicians. Because love for Christ must span generations, and Christ followers in leadership bring unity and peace (Proverbs 29:2).”
