The American church is in crisis. The crisis is not caused by the politics of Trumpism, though that is the occasion for it. The crisis is evoked by the great challenge which every generation faces: to follow Jesus Christ in the way of discipleship. The word of God's promise sets before American Christians a simple but dramatic choice in the face of the toxic politics of Trumpism. Yes, or no? Each must choose, and the gospel itself is at stake.

Reviews for Choose You This Day, Second Edition

"""McGlasson has done what needed to be done. That is, he actually documents the evangelical support for Trump. Just as importantly, he frames that support by directing attention to the German Christians' identification with National Socialism. He is aware that such a thesis will invite easy dismissal, but he rightly sees that these are dangerous times that require plain speech. Hopefully this book will be widely read."" --Stanley Hauerwas, professor emeritus of divinity and law, Duke Divinity School ""At times statements and actions by political leaders and the faith leaders who facilitate and endorse them can set us on a dangerous path where we risk losing more than an election or position, we risk losing the very essence of what makes us Christian. . . . Into this space McGlasson proposes a new confession, and a new calling for a reformed mission for the ecumenical Christian church in all its challenges."" --Chris Coons, U.S. senator ""McGlasson accomplishes in this book something that is almost entirely absent in public life today. Without demonizing people who hold an opposing political view, he examines the theology undergirding the political loyalties he critiques. Drawing on the German Confessing Church movement, he not only shows the serious consequences of false doctrine, he also offers a compelling articulation of the gospel of Jesus Christ for our time."" --Jennifer M.
