About The Book

I know of no other book that explains so clearly, with so lively a pen, and with such economy the various intellectual currents that are now disturbing our cultural peace.

 

What is even rarer is that the author grinds no axes, treating both sides of the culture wars with thoughtful charity and a deeply Christian intelligence.

 

Woke has important things to say and it does so in a highly readable manner.

There is no substitute for common sense and Stackhouse brims with it as this book testifies.  It is a dangerous time.  All the more reason to value this book.
