On the first Friday of every month, I choose a new book for our book group, You Gotta Read This!
This month I'm choosing Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation. It's written by historian Kristin Kobes DuMez (a professor at my alma mater, Calvin University!). It is a New York Times bestseller, and it was the publisher's "surprise hit" of 2020.
It's a great complement to our new series, "Waking Up to the Patriarchy." Get yourself a copy and prepare for a wild ride through 75 years of masculinity, religion and politics in the United States.
You can find it in our Bookshop, along with all the other books we've ever recommended on the show. (We get a small commission for all books you purchase through the site.)
Let us know what you think! Send in your reactions, questions, recommendations and delights to yougottatrythispodcast@gmail.com. Find us on Instagram @yougottatrythispodcast.
Remember to follow the show, and leave us a rating and review.
