The world is always trying to replace Christianity with a spiritual counterfeit that is another religion entirely, as J. Gresham Machen pointed out a century ago. Rosaria Butterfield exposes today’s ideologies that seek to force the church into the mold of sexual perversion and self-deification. And she reminds us in this well-written and easy-to-read book that the answer to these soul-destroying lies remains the same as it always was: knowing and abiding in God’s word so that the truth will set us free. Highly recommended!

In a culture marked by sexual confusion and moral chaos, Rosaria Butterfield bursts through the fog of confusion with unflinching clarity. Defining words like male and female, and the biblical roles assigned to them, this book speaks plainly and unapologetically about the beauty of God’s design and purpose for gender, sex, marriage, and family. If the five lies of our anti-Christian age she confronts are like idols in Daniel’s Babylon, be inspired to join Butterfield as she, like Daniel’s three friends, stand amongst the thousands of bended knees and boldly assert, ‘We will not serve your gods.
—Alisa Childers, Host, The Alisa Childers Podcast, author, Another Gospel? and Live Your Truth and Other Lies
Falsehood abounds not only in the world but also, sadly, in the church. The truth must attack the lies of the age for the sake of God’s honor and glory, the good of people, and the health of the church. In this deeply courageous book, Rosaria Butterfield addresses topics that many are afraid to confront and expose. On the one hand, this is grievous, but I am especially grateful for the gifts God has given to Butterfield, who is in many respects uniquely able to expose these five lies of our anti-Christian age. You may weep reading this book, but I am convinced you will also rejoice.

What Butterfield does in this book is not only give the biggest issues with identity and self-deception of sexuality today (2023) but also keeps it Gospel focus - which is the cure. First of all, it has footnotes so it's already riding high. Next, she defines most of her terms right off the bat. I had to remind myself that I already knew a lot on this topic and wanted to read this for the intended audience. There were maybe a few words where I thought it would also be good to include like "gender" in this first chapter. However, she did come to talk about the Freuding influence in mixing up sex and gender which is an important discussion point. The five lies she's identifying in her book are the following: 1) Homosexuality is normal 2) Being a spiritual person is kinder than being a biblical Christian 3) Feminism is good for the world and the Church 4) Transgenderism is normal 5) Modesty is an outdated burden that serves male dominance and holds women back Each topic is molded to a personal story or concerns her personal journey to faith which adds more than just looking at a collection of current event stories to shake your head at. For being at 300 pages, this book does a lot of work in a good amount of time. While this book seems to, at first, be one for a Christian to be informed about the current day issues, this also appears to be targeted at those wanting to see the full, Christian response to the topic at hand. While being spiritual and modesty seem like topics that don't necessarily belong in the camp with the other three, Butterfield does a good job of laying out the throughline that ties them all together. Butterfield is a skilled writer that shows here. You might read familiar passages from her previous books here of her personal story but that's also probably why you've picked up her book too. The solution of the Gospel tend to feel a bit longer in laying out the answer but one has to see that the audience isn't just for Christians but for non-Christians or Christians needing help with providing the world a full answer from a biblical perspective. This was very well done and very well balanced. Butterfield provides enough current events stories to inform someone who hasn't paid attention in the last seven years what the issue is. She gives enough personal anecdotes to provide actual situations that any of us may encounter. She, also, gives a full biblical perspective rooted in the Scripture of how Christians should respond and a worldview of why we shouldn't be surprised this is happening. A good book to mark up and give to others. Final Grade - A
