Across generations, men of faith have been lulled into spiritual slumber—content with comfort, distracted by lesser things, and weakened by the world’s relentless pull. From Adam’s sons to today’s Saints, history is filled with warnings of priesthood holders who forgot who they were and what they were called to do. Yet the command of heaven remains rise up.
In this bold and timely work, Connor Boyack issues a stirring call to action for men of God to awaken from mediocrity and reclaim their divine strength. Drawing from scripture, history, and modern culture, Rise Up exposes the forces—social, political, and spiritual—that seek to corrupt manhood and neutralize the priesthood’s power.
For those ready to shake off complacency and stand where Jesus stood, this book will ignite the fire to live boldly, act decisively, and become the men God intended them to be.
Connor Boyack is founder and president of Libertas Institute, a libertarian think tank in Utah. In that capacity, he has spearheaded important policy reforms dealing with property rights, civil liberties, transparency, surveillance, and education freedom.
Connor is the author of several books, including the new Tuttle Twins series that teaches the principles of liberty to young children. Other books include Latter-day Liberty: A Gospel Approach to Government and Politics and its companion, Latter-day Responsibility: Choosing Liberty through Personal Accountability.
Connor's work has been publicly praised by former Representative Ron Paul, Judge Andrew Napolitano, Tom Woods, and other nationally recognized figures. He is a frequent commentator on current events and has appeared in local, national, and international interviews to publicize and comment on his work.
Connor's books always resonate with me. Although this one is written specifically to men, it is really applicable to all covenant-keeping disciples of Jesus Christ. Connor sometimes gets a little too political in his books about the Gospel, but I understand how he feels the two are so connected. I will continue reading and listening to his excellent Sunday Musings podcasts.
