Todd Starnes - The Deplorables Guide to Making America Great Again

Jesus said, You shall know the truth, and it will set you free. Much of America is having a hard time listening to truth and finding true freedom. Check out ole Starness rendition of why our culture is turning away from timeless truths and turning on the messengers that espouse them.

PHIL ROBERTSON

THE DUCK COMMANDER

This book strikes a healthy balance of painting an accurate picture of challenges to American culture and liberty while also providing timely, down-to-earth instruction on what everyday citizens can do to truly make America great again. Well done!

BRAD DACUS

PRESIDENT, PACIFIC JUSTICE INSTITUTE

While many on the Left have predicted the demise of the conservative Christian voice in politics, Todd provides an encouraging and prophetic primer on the reengagement of Christians in culture. This work provides a playbook for a new generation of believers to stand for truth.

EMIR CANER

PRESIDENT, TRUETT MCCONNELL UNIVERSITY

Todd Starnes is a combination of Andy Griffith, Mark Twain, and William Wallace. His fun-filled wit and Southern-flavored worldview make this book a must-read for anyone ready to push back against the rising tide of evil set against our American values. This nation is desperate for unique warriors, like Todd, who recognize if Gods people dont get it right, our nation never will. So if youre tired of getting pushed around and told what you can and cant believe or say, then The Deplorables Guide to Making America Great Again is for you!

DAVID AND JASON BENHAM

AUTHORS, WHATEVER THE COST AND LIVING AMONG LIONS

Todd whimsically and effectively summarizes the incredible year that was 2016, and he lays out a path forward that includes a comprehensive overview of some of our biggest cultural challenges and how we can save America from the enemies within before it is too late. A must-read for all ages!

CHARLIE KIRK

FOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, TURNING POINT USA

My dear friend Todd Starnes is one of Americas greatest patriots. He uses his wit and passion to promote the fact that our nation was founded on JudeoChristian principles and can remain free only as we honor God, who is the author of our liberty. God bless you, Todd, for another great book!

CH (COL) RON CREWS, USAR, RETIRED

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, CHAPLAIN ALLIANCE FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Its time to make America great again, and my friend Todd Starnes points out the way in his excellent new book. Using his trademark Southern humor, Todd shows us how to push back against secularism and resist the mind-set that would relegate Christianity to the margins of society. We can make a difference in our nation, and Todd shows us how. This book is a must-read.

ROBERT JEFFRESS

PASTOR, FIRST BAPTIST DALLAS

Todd Starnes once again proves that he is among the most gifted and timely writers of our time. This book reminds the reader of just how close America came to sliding into the moral abyss in 2016 while providing dozens of inspirational examples of ordinary Americans who stood up to the Goliath of liberalism, whether in government, the media, the courts, or academia, and like David of old said, Not on my watch.

I consider myself well-informed when it comes to the culture war in our nation, but Todd, in his role as a Christian reporter, lives on the frontlines, and The Deplorables Guide to Making America Great Again will quicken the silent warrior within you as you get acquainted with many who have courageously stood on behalf of us all. I wholeheartedly endorse this book and look forward to giving it to pastors across the nation in hopes of inspiring them to join us in the battle for the soul of America.

RICK SCARBOROUGH

If you want to know why the Left thinks you are a Deplorable and what to do about it, read The Deplorables Guide to Making America Great Again. Todd Starnes is a Southern-fried conservative and more importantly, a Christian, who has a gift for speaking the truth and saying it in a way that makes it memorable!

To my Friend from Findlay

The people who know their God

shall stand firm and take action.

DANIEL 11:32, ESV

I T TAKES A lot of deplorable people to write a book like thisa basketful at the very least! And Im proud to say that I associate with a number of people the Left holds in contemptfolks who go to church, drive pickup trucks, shoot guns, and pledge allegiance to the flag, folks who take a knee to pray, not protest.

In truth these good people are not deplorable; they are red-blooded American patriots. And without their support and guidance and prayers this book would not have been birthed.

Im blessed with a wonderful Southern family. Its hard to fit most of us on the front porch, but we still manage to squeeze in everyone. Of course Aunt Lynn and Uncle Jerry and Aunt Norma and Uncle Bob have been there from day one with great words of encouragement and at times consternation.
