James Dobson's War On America published by Prometheus Books |
![]() |
|
For the first time, a former high-level insider provides a behind-the-scenes look at the private world of James Dobson, one of the most powerful (yet clandestine) figures waging religious war against mainstream America. In James Dobson's War On America we learn what only an insider could know about James Dobson, who has the power and the will to subjugate our personal freedoms, while hiding from the focus of the media. Former Senior Vice President of "Focus on the Family", Gil Alexander-Moegerle reveals the dark side of this man and his "civil war of values" in a candid expose based on ten years experience within Dobson's organization. The most telling description of James Dobson is that his is not what he appears to be. This chasm between the highly crafted public persona that exudes love and concerns, and the fiercely competitive, ruthless, power-hungry, and materialistic private man reveals an almost Jekyll-and-Hyde dualism. James Dobson's War On America issues a warning call to concerned citizens, liberal and conservative alike, to oppose this man who is a creature of inner rage, intense racism, sexism, and homophobia -- all of which are at the root base of his radical political plan for a "Christian America" -- Dobson style. ". . . a counterpoint to an otherwise undisputed powerhouse of religious thought. . . . This book is significant because it raises relevant issues concerning a highly regarded man and ministry. As Christians struggle with how to impact society, books such as this, though painful, are necessary." --Christian Booksellers Association Marketplace ". . . his call for scrutiny of Dobson is timely and warranted." --The Presbyterian Outlook "It is tempting to treat this book as sour grapes on the part of a disgruntled former employee. However, Alexander-Moegerle's post as co-founder, senior vice-president and co-host of Focus must be factored in. If Dobson did and said such things, Alexander-Moegerle would certainly have been in a position to know. Perhaps this book will be a catalyst for Dobson to increase both his and his organization's accessibility. . ." --Christian Century | |
