New Release From “The Book-Banning Pastor” Seeks Truth
Hoodwinked addresses lies Americans believe and provides tools to counter the false narrative
WASHINGTON, D.C., (December 4, 2023) — Pastor, author, and activist John Amanchukwu Sr., is set to release his sophomore book Hoodwinked: 10 Lies Americans Believer and the Truth That Will Set Them Free (Salem Books, May 28, 2024). Hookwinked neuters ten of the most insidious lies at work in society today and provides readers with the tools needed to counter the false narratives and be beacons of hope in their relationships and communities. It also includes a foreword from Charlie Kirk, founder and president of Turning Point USA.
Amanchukwu’s compelling stand against gender ideology and
race-baiting at school board meetings across the country has attracted a huge online audience and made him a leading voice for biblical justice. Derided as “the Book-Banning Pastor” by his critics, Amanchukwu understands that the best way to heal our wounded and battered culture and restore sanity to our once-great nation is to expose the lies for what they are. And the best way to do that is to speak the truth.
“From Hollywood to mainstream media, to the halls of our children’s classroom, lies and propaganda exist everywhere,” Amanchukwu said. “The only way—the only way—we can stop the spread of these lies is to speak truth. The Gospel of John tells us ‘the truth will set us free’ and in Hoodwinked, we confront those lies head-on with the Gospel as our guide.”
Hoodwinked explores 10 lies in society today—everything from the supposedly racist roots of America to the myth that debt can be cancelled to the pornography currently being peddled as children’s literature. Amanchukwu provides the training and ammunition needed for readers to become a leader in the fight for our country.
The head of Salem Books, Julie Jayne, shares her enthusiasm for the pending release. “We are honored and proud to partner once again with John Amanchukwu as he diligently works to help open the eyes of believers and non-believers alike to the realities of what is happening in our world. Hoodwinked will shock and educate readers, and we look forward to bringing light to the world through this work.”
