Exclusive Book Launch for “Stockholm Syndrome Christianity” by John G. West

Discovery Institute cordially invites you to join Dr. John G. West for an exciting evening in Tacoma, WA, as we celebrate the release of his thought-provoking new book, Stockholm Syndrome Christianity: Why America’s Christian Leaders Are Failing — and What We Can Do About It.

Dr. West, Vice President of the Discovery Institute and Managing Director of the Center for Science and Culture, brings his expertise as an award-winning author and documentary filmmaker to explore critical questions surrounding the cultural decline we’ve all observed. What if American culture isn’t collapsing because of crusading secularists? What if it’s failing because leading Christians identify more with secular elites than with their fellow believers? Those are the provocative questions posed by Stockholm Syndrome Christianity, which exposes how influential Christian leaders are siding with their anti-Christian cultural captors on everything from biblical authority and science to sex, race, and religious liberty. Going beyond critique, the book identifies root causes and — most crucially — offers practical tips and strategies you can use to help your family, church, and community stand for truth.

This event will offer a unique opportunity to hear Dr. West discuss his bold perspective on the failures of contemporary Christian leadership and what YOU can do to address these challenges.

After the presentation, join us for refreshments and an opportunity to purchase the book and have it signed by the author. The book can also be purchased during registration and picked up upon check in to ensure that you secure a copy before supplies run out.

Whether you’re a longtime follower of Dr. West’s work or altogether new, this evening promises to be a powerful call to action for Christians seeking to reclaim the integrity of their faith and influence in society. Don’t miss out on this important and timely event!
