The culture wars have raged for decades, but with seemingly little success. Christians are losing the cultural battle for family, life, and faith. But why?

In this riveting look at the underbelly of feminism, Dr. Carrie Gress lays out why pro-life and pro-family efforts have failed to deliver. Feminism has quietly captured the minds and hearts of women by mimicking aspects of Christianity. Through its own “commandments,” “virtues,” “evangelization,” and even “a sacrament,” feminism has become an exceedingly powerful megachurch.

While Christians have targeted the specific products of the feminist ideology, such as abortion and transgenderism, we have missed the bigger picture of how feminism’s shadow church has captured the psyche of Western women.

Feminism is all too often perceived, even among Christians, as something virtuous that affords women true equality and freedom. Dr. Gress overturns this misconception, smashing the idol of feminism and exposing its deeply anti-Christian origins.

Drawing from history, psychology, philosophy, culture, and common sense, Dr. Gress explains:

• How early feminists opposed traditional Christianity and espoused occultic practices
• Six ways feminism has become its own religion that mimics the Christian faith
• Why the feminist idol of women’s autonomy can never lead to happiness
• How the prioritization of masculine virtues devalued the vital gifts of women
• What happens when Christians try to blend their faith with feminism
• Why the restless search for identity by many adrift in culture is really a grasping for home
• The vital role that men and the patriarchy play in meeting the needs of all of society

Dr. Gress lays out solutions to how womanhood can be viewed afresh, without feminism’s menace, healing the ever-growing rift between the sexes, reconnecting the essential bond of empathy between mother and child, and restoring God to his rightful place in the hearts of all women.
