I found his southern homey humor to be hilarious, as he told story after story that could have been completely depressing; with the state of affairs we are facing daily, if you don't laugh, you cry. Or just shake your head a lot.
These are serious times and Todd was able to keep it light, but still get right to the core of the problems we face.
Common human decency all across the board.

A great detailed overview of the myriad problems and issues tearing our country apart over the last ten years or so. If you’ve been keeping track of the news closely over the years, much of this book will be familiar. If you’ve not really kept up and are interested in understanding what the hot button issues are this will familiarize you.

Accounts of intolerance and lack of common sense—who would want these two things, seriously?

It’s about Time...and we are Losing that Critical Element!
How many of us (over half of America) have called the Left’s delusional proposals INSANE! With this WAR on Traditional, Human Values, we are at The Crossroad of Critical Assay of Accountability. Never Before or Never Again should we be at the mercy of such Illogical and Unchristian Evil threatening The Republic to its Death.

Starnes covers some very valuable topics in today's politics. His consistent use of examples to make his point is very effective. Because the format of each chapter varies by topic, it does feel choppy when reading. The book focuses on the issues and minimally on the solutions. I wish more time had been spent on how to fight the abuses he points out. I'm glad I read it.

Ok, whew. This book has some really great pros and some really bad cons.
Pros:
1. This book has some great anecdotes. Todd Starnes uses a lot of stories about intances of conservatives and/or Christians being forced to not express themselves, or intances of Christians/conservatives being forced to witness/participate in something that they are morally opposed to. He provides tons of examples on each subject and really explains a lot about the situation.
2. This book has a bunch of quotes and footnotes. It has 257 footnotes, which is fairly rare in a standard political book like this(some have 0 footnotes) so it was refreshing to have those. Starnes even quotes liberal organizations such as CNN, NBC, NYT, and WAPO, as well as several conservative organizations(including his own Fox News). The fact that he has so many footnotes/sources is really enticing to me.
3. Includes letters and personal quotes from the people involved, such as Mike Huckabee and Franklin Graham, which made the book more personal when referencing them in the stories.
Cons:
1. Starnes is downright mean some of the time. He can be rude and in every single section with every single story, finds some way to either name call, put down, or otherwise be rude to people who disagree with him. I'm all for standing on principle, but we as conservatives should seek to be kind and try to convince liberals to see our point of view, and being rude to them is hardly going to change their minds.
2. There are just a few too many times where Starnes repeats himself. He uses the same phrases over and over again and it becomes monotonous and annoying by the end. Especially when its part of the rudeness stated above. If you can't come up with a new phrase to use, I'd suggest just not using one and strictly telling the story exactly as it unfolded.
3. The book is really unevenly paced. It has several 20-40 page chapters, followed by a 2-5 page chapter followed by a 10 page chapter. It really felt disjointed and should have been paced a lot better. Either make the chapters evenly long, or evenly short, with only a few outliers. It's really tough to focus on a book paced this way.
Overall, the book is ok, and provides some great information, but should be read with a grain of salt. I am glad I read it, but can't reccomend it to anyone. 5.5 out of 10!

As Mary Poppins, from another time, has said, "A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down." Todd Starnes gives an account of the culture war in America and pulls no punches. But, he does it with a dose of humor. At least some of the absurdities that put us into tight fitting boxes (unable to move one way or another for fear of offense) make us laugh. LOL. Life would be unbearable without laughter. But, the seriousness of the situation cannot be denied. We must bring common sense back. We must return to our roots if we mean to survive.

Bless your heart
This book has many examples of all the liberal crazies and anyone who supports them. These crazies would love to get rid of Christians and all people who support President Trump. As one of the irredeemable and deplorable I will continue to fight against all of the garbage being espoused by these liberals.

Untold truth about the assault on our country
Mr. Starnes uses specific examples of the lefts war on traditional American values and their incessant attacks on people specifically of the Christian faith. Anyone wanting to educate themselves on the left’s agenda to destroy this nation and how we as citizens can fight back should read this book.

Culture Jihad is an outstanding book to help Americans better understand what the Leftist Progressives are doing to our religious rights. Todd Starnes did a great job in researching and writing the book. The examples he uses to explain what is happening to restrict religious rights. He also read the book and did a great job of that too.

Terrific book. Always amazing to read about Christian Americans being discriminated against for their beliefs

Shocking examples of injustice toward conservative ideals; or maybe not so shocking. These events are far too common across our nation.

One of the best books I've ever read on the anti-Christian bigotry that's sweeping our nation.

A must read for those ready to fight the leftists.

Just since this was published, things have gotten even worse and some of the things Todd Starnes warns about have already come to pass.
