Political thriller, Dystopian theocracy, Corporate Oligarchy

Publisher:Rebel Island Press
Lies, fear, and the Holy Bible are the country’s undoing in K.C.
Boyd’s second, dystopian tale, a story that all too closely resembles
an America in which Project 2025 rules. Vividly depicting the present-day
racism, greed, and religious hypocrisy, Secretary of Faith serves as a
cautionary warning to Project 2025.
After an orchestrated victory, the newly elected President redefines the
country by changing its name to the United Christian States of America.
Next, he reduces the traditional number of seats in his cabinet to four, and
adds a fifth, the Department of Faith, appointing his lifetime mentor,
Christian Hillcox, as its first ever Secretary.
The rule of law is no more. Sanctioned by the administration, violent mobs
take to the streets. Media is state-run; neighbors inform on neighbors;
loved ones vanish, never to return. When a natural disaster strikes the West
Coast, an already well-organized Resistance emerges and Secretary Hillcox
finds himself in a battle to maintain both the administration’s
narrative and his own position through evermore frightening means.
In a showdown between Good and Evil, the question is—will citizens
rise to the occasion and save the Republic?
About the Author
After twenty years of visiting megachurches in Ohio and across the country,
attending various 'Values Voters'' conferences, and watching untold hours of
televangelists preach the 'Word', K.C. Boyd decided to use her flare for
fiction to share the dangerous truths she saw. As human beings have always
responded to story, Boyd felt the need to communicate the grave danger we
face-particularly from religious extremists who now stand arm in arm with
genuine fascists-through story.

This book had me on my toes. It was action packed. It was such a good story line/plot. Truly spine tingling and thrilling.
Audiobooks always heighten the experience for me and this one was no exception. I really enjoyed the narration.
I give massive applause to Martha Wickham for creating such wonderful characters. She reels you in and the story is never slow or lags. She has a great talent for hooking you in and then you never want to let go!

Have you ever questioned the importance behind the pain, suffering, and
desperation we feel in life? Often times, it's easy for us to lose ourselves
in the moment and not see the big picture of things. Yes, pain is
uncomfortable, suffering is horrible, and desperation makes us feel like
we're losing ourselves before we've had the opportunity to find ourselves.
Often times, these emotions have so much they can teach us, yet we avoid
them because we don't want to experience any kind of suffering in our
lives.
In Why We Fall, I take you through a journey to uncover the truth behind
the importance of these emotions in our lives. I walk you through the
importance of learning to understand them and how to find the best way to
cope with them. It's not an easy journey, but once you grasp the concepts
and ideas that we'll discuss in the pages of this book, you'll find that
living a fulfilling life and one that you feel satisfied with, has never
been easier.
Review
This was a wonderful guide in letting our failures and past traumas help us in the future.
Not just learning to move on, but learning to use it.
I think this will allow you to learn about yourself and help you now but also is something you can come back to in the future.
About the Author
It’s not easy. Before we move on, remember this. It’s like
going against your own nature. You’re programmed to behave in a
certain way. Your genetic code tells you that it’s ok to be the victim
and to believe that everything that happens to you happens because there is
a certain type of secret conspiracy working against you. We enjoy and crave
being the victim. It’s comfortable and we like it. Easy things are
what the mind naturally cherishes the most. Well, we’re going against
this. We’re going to challenge ourselves to stop feeling sorry for
ourselves and instead begin to think in a “problem-solving”
mentality.
A true warrior has their values so aligned with God that no matter what
happens they know that everything is happening according to God’s
plan. There’s no need to feel scared or uncertain because they know
that God is testing them and making sure that they’re following the
right path. A true warrior knows that they’re going to be tough times
and that they need to find ways to solve them because only then will they be
able to say that they got stronger. Only then can they actually find a sign
of improvement. Only then can they feel like they’re making progress
and moving on. Even when they fall, they fall forward. Falling back is not
an option for them, because they know that that’s letting the
victim’s mentality kick in, and they don’t do that
anymore.
