Against the Current. Following Jesus In A Nation Adrift (en Inglés) - Tyler Sansom

Against the Current invites readers into a courageous journey of separating authentic Christian faith from the cultural forces that have shaped American life. Blending history, theology, and pastoral honesty, the book traces how well-intentioned believers drifted from the River of Life and were carried into political identity, fear, and cultural loyalty. Instead of condemning or retreating, it offers a hopeful way forward through a return to the cross-shaped, countercultural way of Jesus. Through vivid storytelling and practical spiritual rhythms, this book helps readers resist the pull of polarization, recover a Jesus-first identity, and rediscover a hopeful and Kingdom-centered witness in a divided world.

What Others Say About This Book:

Tyler Sansom has done the impossible. He has written a book that could actually heal the political divide with a sensible and biblical overview of not only how America began, but more importantly, how it began to fracture under the weight of Godly deviation and self-hubris. Can we truly be ONE Nation under God, again? Mr. Sansom makes a great run at the question in this self-reflective treatise. Beware, however, like him, you might just find yourself on the side opposite the one you think you're on! Great news, Sansom offers a tangible way to return to the side of righteousness.
