About this ebook
Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents by Rod Dreher: Conversation Starters
Live Not By Lies is a nonfiction book by Rod Dreher. In it, he expounds on the work of the men and women in history who waged war against totalitarianism. This threat to the liberty people enjoy no longer wears its traditional facade. Instead of violence, it now thrives on psychological manipulation which dissidents are still battling. They provide practical advice on how the average person can recognize totalitarianism in society and resist its pull. Dreher specifically aims to equip American Christians through the pattern provided by a World War II prophetic pastor who warned believers about the rise of communism.
Live Not By Lies is a New York Times bestselling book. It earned a 4.37-star rating on Goodreads based on 310 reviews and 1408 ratings. Conductor Ignat Solzhenitsyn called it a “remarkably prescient book,” while author Patrick Deneen hailed it as a “counsel of hope and joy” for the bleakest days.
A Brief Look Inside:
