  The insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, was not a blip or an aberration. It was the logical outcome of years of a White evangelical subculture's preparation for war. Religion scholar and former insider Bradley Onishi maps the origins of White Christian nationalism and traces its offshoots in Preparing for War. 
   
   
   
  Combining his own experiences in the youth groups and prayer meetings of the 1990s with an immersive look at the steady blending of White grievance politics with evangelicalism, Onishi crafts an engrossing account of the years-long campaign of White Christian nationalism that led to January 6. How did the rise of what Onishi calls the New Religious Right, between 1960 and 2015, give birth to violent White Christian nationalism during the Trump presidency and beyond? What propelled some of the most conservative religious communities in the country—communities of which Onishi was once a part—to ignite a cold civil war? 
   
   
   
  Through chapters on White supremacy and segregationist theologies, conspiracy theories, the Christian-school movement, purity culture, and the right-wing media ecosystem, Onishi pulls back the curtain on a subculture that birthed a movement and has taken a dangerous turn.

  First Inaugural Address

  On January 20, 1981, Reagan began his first presidential inauguration address by thanking Carter for his “gracious cooperation in the transition process”. 
  Reagan notes “one of the worst sustained inflations in our national history. It distorts our economic decisions, penalizes thrift, and crushes the struggling young and the fixed-income elderly alike.” “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” 
  “For decades we have piled deficit upon deficit, mortgaging our future and our children's future for the temporary convenience of the present.” “It is my intention to curb the size and influence of the Federal establishment and to demand recognition of the distinction between the powers granted to the Federal Government and those reserved to the States or to the people.” 
  “If we look to the answer as to why for so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on Earth, it was because here in this land we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before.” “It is time to reawaken this industrial giant, to get government back within its means, and to lighten our punitive tax burden.” 
  “As for the enemies of freedom, … [w]e will maintain sufficient strength to prevail if need be, knowing that if we do so we have the best chance of never having to use that strength.” 
  “[T]ogether with God's help we can and will resolve the problems which now confront us. And after all, why shouldn't we believe that? We are Americans. God bless you, and thank you.

  Operation North: The...

  On the night of April 1, 1951, in six republics along the western edge of the Soviet Union, soldiers moved into villages and towns while the people inside their houses slept. They came with dogs and machine guns, and they carried lists on which names and addresses had already been written. The lists had been compiled over the preceding months by the Ministry of State Security, the agency the Soviets called the MGB. The men knocked, and when the doors opened, they read out an order. The order dictated that the family in front of them was being resettled, and the most important word in the documents was navechno, meaning forever. 
  The families on those lists were Jehovah’s Witnesses, and over the span of two days in the western republics, and a week later across Ukraine, Soviet security forces seized 9,793 people, loaded them into freight cars built for transporting cattle, and sent them east into Siberia. The MGB called it Operation North, and it ended up being the largest deportation of a single religious group in the history of the Soviet Union, carried out on the direct order of Joseph Stalin. 
  The Jehovah’s Witnesses were dispersed across the special settlements of Tomsk Oblast, Irkutsk Oblast, and Krasnoyarsk Krai, regions of forest and deep cold where the planners believed a small foreign faith could be left to die out among strangers. The families arrived to find snow still on the ground in late April, and many spent the first winter in shelters they dug into the earth, keeping themselves alive on nettles and the inner bark of trees. Of course, some had already died in the railcars, and others died in the initial months after their arrival. 
  The bare facts of the operation are striking enough on their own, but they sit within a larger irony that gives the story its shape. The Soviet state was an ascendant empire that had crushed far greater enemies than a few thousand pacifist believers, but it ended up proving unable to break the Jehovah's Witnesses.

  In a world that often misunderstands or underestimates the capabilities and worth of individuals with disabilities, Accompanying Disability offers a compassionate, faithful model for nurturing relationships with loved ones with disabilities based on mutual respect, dignity, and affection, rather than patronizing attitudes or pity. 
   
   
   
  Author Topher Endress brings a wealth of insight and experience as a pastor and theologian whose father became a quadriplegic after a hiking accident. Through his personal narrative, his father's writings, and Bible-based reflections, Endress shows how the way we think about disability can have a profound impact on our ability not just to provide care or engage respectfully but to truly accompany loved ones with disabilities along our mutual journey of life.

It celebrates diversity, resilience, and the richness of human experience, inviting listeners to reflect on God's work in our world and embrace the beauty of relationships founded on equality, understanding, and love.
