It's an utter joke
It's just slop made to please ignorant Christian's, it's a Christian circle jerk book that tells them everything they want to hear. Anyone that uses the word "woke" needs serious mental health.

Awake not woke
Excellent read so far , explains how the undermining of the family is at the very heart of braking up religious freedom and a life of faith. The school system of higher ed and today k/12 in many areas trying to break doesn’t the nuclear family and values.

Eye Opening & Empowering
Before reading this book, I often felt ill-eqipped to respond with reason to my woke young adult children. I have spent a lot of time crying, praying, and wondering where I went wrong in their faith formation. This book helped me to understand what they've been fed in college. I can hear their voices on the pages and now feel more equipped to gently, without so much emotion and hurt, respond in a way that might actually be persuasive. I am on here looking for group discussion questions (which I don't see?) because I intend to gather some friends to study and discuss together. Thank you, Noelle, for this insighful book.

A must read - an EYE opener
This book puts into words the roots, the symptoms and the consequences of the cultural chaos that we are living. I am hoping TAN will publish a mass distribution version of this book so that I can give it to friends, family and anyone who will care enough to read it.

A Must Read!
I might be buying several copies of this book for people who desperately need to read it. If there was ever a book that just MIGHT make a victim of wokenessù pause and reflect on their ideology, this is it. As a writer myself, I cherished the excerpts, quotes and detailed research Mrs. Mering uses to elaborate her points. I wanted to highlight and savor each of them! The book is rich in history and yet concise. It almost reads like a thriller, unfolding each layer of the ugly Marxist beast we all, at least those who seek Truth, must face. Perhaps my excitement towards this book is that it gave me the nudge I needed to fight the good fight and confront these dangerous ideologies where I see them and it provided all the mighty weapons of Truth to help along the way. Awake, not Wokeù may be the call to action we all need!
