"The last decade in the U.S. has been fraught as it relates to politics and Christianity. Scandals, Trump, more scandals. In Losing Our Religion, former Southern Baptist pastor and Christianity Today editor-in-chief Russell Moore offers a roadmap for Christians trying to make sense of it all.

Obsessed not with influence but with integrity and healing. If you, like me, have grown increasingly wary of the labels of Evangelical or even Christian, this book may be a good place to find your footing."
