The Reversal

There was a time when a person's faith shaped their politics. Now it often runs the other way. People choose their church to fit their politics and their convictions to match their party. Something has gotten reversed.

The Reversal is for anyone worn down by the slow creep of politics into everything sacred. It offers something better than a sharper argument or a winning strategy. It offers the one thing capable of healing a politicized faith: holiness.

Tony M. Hodge has spent years inside the rooms where political decisions get made. As a Republican Party official and lifelong believer, he has watched the wholesale replacement of genuine Christian faith with political identity, on both sides of the aisle, up close. He has seen the gospel used as a costume and watched good people slowly become someone they would not recognize. He found that the answer was never about choosing the right side. It was about becoming the right kind of person.

Drawing on the theology of John Wesley and the examples of Abraham Lincoln, William Wilberforce, and John Quincy Adams, The Reversal makes the case that sanctification, the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit reaching into every corner of a person's life including the political one, is the only remedy capable of fixing the problem at its root.

This is an invitation to put your faith back where it belongs and anchor it in something no election can threaten and no defeat can take away.

Your faith was always meant to lead. This book shows you how to let it.
