Endorsements:

"The world is always trying to replace Christianity with a spiritual counterfeit that is another religion entirely, as J. Gresham Machen pointed out a century ago. Rosaria Butterfield exposes today's ideologies that seek to force the church into the mold of sexual perversion and self-deification. And she reminds us in this well-written and easy-to-read book that the answer to these soul-destroying lies remains the same as it always was: knowing and abiding in God's word so that the truth will set us free. Highly recommended!"
--Joel R. Beeke, Chancellor and Professor of Systematic Theology and Homiletics, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary; Pastor, Heritage Reformed Congregation, Grand Rapids, Michigan

"In a culture marked by sexual confusion and moral chaos, Rosaria Butterfield bursts through the fog of confusion with unflinching clarity. Defining words like male and female, and the biblical roles assigned to them, this book speaks plainly and unapologetically about the beauty of God's design and purpose for gender, sex, marriage, and family. If the five lies of our anti-Christian age she confronts are like idols in Daniel's Babylon, be inspired to join Butterfield as she, like Daniel's three friends, stand amongst the thousands of bended knees and boldly assert, 'We will not serve your gods.'"
--Alisa Childers, Host, The Alisa Childers Podcast; author, Another Gospel? and Live Your Truth and Other Lies

"As I read this cogent, trenchant, and timely declaration of gospel sanity, I was constantly reminded of the words of Christ: 'You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free' (John 8:32). Rosaria Butterfield has afforded us a much-needed caveat to the prevailing untruths of our day while simultaneously redirecting us to the pathway of freedom." George Grant, Pastor, Parish Presbyterian Church, Franklin, Tennessee; author, The Micah Mandate "Rosaria Butterfield has written a landmark book on the lies our culture is rapidly adopting regarding sexuality, what she calls 'the idol of our time,' namely LGBTQ+ ideology. In all the subjects she raises-in particular feminism, homosexuality, and transgenderism-her treatments are broad, deep, and fair. She offers profound, and deeply convincing, reflections on Christian spiritual issues of temptation, sin, envy, and modesty, as well as the doctrines of the Scriptures and ecclesiology. As a converted lesbian, now a committed pastor's wife and mother, no one is better placed to cover this material than Butterfield. Her book will surely go down as a classic."
--Peter Jones, Executive Director, truthXchange

"Rosaria Butterfield speaks the truth in love, exposing and refuting five big lies widely accepted in our culture. She draws on her profound understanding of the Bible as well as her wide reading and personal experiences. May this important book strengthen Christians and be used to call many, not only to the truth but also to repentance and faith in Christ."
--W. Robert Godfrey, President Emeritus and Professor Emeritus, Westminster Seminary California; Teaching Fellow, Ligonier Ministries

"Rosaria Butterfield is one of those rare individuals who lives out her convictions with utter consistency-earlier as a lesbian professor of feminist and queer studies and now as a Christian and a pastor's wife. In this book, she confronts some of the most pervasive falsehoods of our age."
--Nancy Pearcey, Professor and Scholar in Residence, Houston Christian University; author, Love Thy Body and The Toxic War on Masculinity

"Few authors consistently write books with such clarity and power, rightly dividing the primary issues of the day, like Rosaria Butterfield. Drawing from her unlikely conversion, literary eloquence, philosophical fluency, and theological mastery, she has again composed another tour de force in Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age. Addressing identity, sexuality, feminism, and transgenderism, this masterpiece uncovers the deceptive lies infiltrating the church and points to the lifegiving and timeless truth of God's word. Like a watchman on a wall, Butterfield grounds her courage and passion in her love for neighbor. Will we take the wide road of compromise leading to death or the narrow path of suffering leading to life in Christ? Read this book. You will not be pampered but challenged. Most of all, expect that the gospel of Christ will be exalted without any wavering to the left or the right."
