I just came across this book blurb, for a new title from Founders Ministry in the USA:
For decades now, Christian men have been told that their strength is a problem, their ambition a sin, and power is dangerous to wield. Instead, they are offered a feminized faith which prizes inaction and passivity.I've been around a few decades now; I can't recall being told any of those things, even once. Is my memory faulty?
It would, of course, be a fallacy to universalise my own experience. The USA is, to me, another country. Am I just in the "wrong" (or right!) circles? I could buy the book to find out what he's talking about....
... but given that those providing the blurbs for this book on Founders' Ministry's own website includes people who use the Internet to promote Nazi memes, argue for racial segregation, promote use of the N-word, proclaim the superiority of the "Caucasian race", and defend others who praise Hitler and his policies, I'd rather not.
Footnote: for those who don't follow the British manner of understatement, and erroneously consider such phrases as "I'd rather not" a mark of being a passive girly-man, let me clarify its proper interpretation for you. It means "people doing this are enemies of Jesus Christ, to be marked and avoided" - is that better?
