How long will the church’s voice be drowned out by the roar of the enemy?
After reading this book, you will understand the critical issues threatening the spread of the gospel in America, and how you can play a part and no longer be a “silent lamb” drowned out by the voices of secularism, liberalism, and pagan thinking in America.
If you are a conservative living in America today, there is a target on your back. If you are a Christian conservative, that target is even bigger. If you are a Christian conservative who refuses to bow down to the spirit of the age, the spirit of political correctness, that target is so big that you are a marked man or woman. A person like that—like you!—must be silenced.
So says today’s cultural elite, who are making it increasingly difficult for Christians to stand up and live out their faith. In The Silencing of the Lambs , Dr. Michael L. Brown lays out what is happening in the world around us—from the assault on children in schools and on college campuses to the unprecedented censorship of Christians and conservatives through Big Tech. He then maps out strategies for how we can turn the pitfalls into platforms and find courage in the midst of opposition.
The Word of God cannot be bound. The church cannot be cancelled. This book sounds the alarm, alerting Christians to the increasing censorship, opposition, and even persecution believers are facing today, and calls them to remove the muzzle, take their place as the church in this nation, and turn the tide.
Michael L. Brown (born March 16, 1955) is a Messianic Jewish Old Testament scholar, professor, activist, itinerant speaker, and author who has preached in numerous countries and written twenty books. He is the founder and president of ICN Ministries. His writings have been translated into more than a dozen languages. He was married to Nancy Gurian on March 14, 1976 and they have two daughters, Jennifer and Megan, and four grandchildren.
This book has been thoroughly researched and provides numerous examples of how the cancer culture is silencing the lambs. In the second half of the book, Dr. Brown provides ways to overcome these attacks.
While I wholly agree with the information and ways to overcome, some of the suggested opportunities could have been further developed. I was hoping to feel more empowered to face attacking lions, prepared to put on the armor of the Lord and join the battle. However, I felt left with the feeling of a lamb hoping for relief from the attacks. I think the book lacked a solid conclusion that could possibly help further unify as a call to action, thus leaving me feeling more empowered.
Overall, still a good read and definitely important in dealing with the challenges of today.
The book has to parts. The first is a summary of recent historical events and the second is a biblically supported call to arms for Believers. One could read Part 2 alone over and over as a reminder on how we should move in this world, showing our love for Christ and fellow man through our lives.
