Night owl: Wow! So very thought provoking. Realizing there is SO much going on. Made me think about values, ethics, morality. Also power and things persons will do to achieve and how to keep it. Also made me turn inward and question myself. Highly recommended!

Lorraine: Wonderful book that exposes the deep darkness that has been brought in by various means and that has totally corrupted our society, especially our younger generation. Everyone needs to read this and see how culture and government has been seduced and taken over. We all need to understand the battle we are fighting.

Grace Mackintosh: This book provides a look into the lives of individuals who developed the critical mass necessary in the North American public to accept abortion on demand. It shows how some of them turned from this direction to attempt to undo their influence. However, the movement had developed its own energy and the horse was out of the barn so to speak.
Then it turned to a more general consideration of the marketing of bad ideas. Immorality. And superficial Christianity.
The earlier part of the book was a history that I had always suspected. The conclusion had some very thought provoking statements.
Thank you. Well done. We need more of these thought provoking and revealing treatises.

C. C.: A insightful book regardless of how one stands on the particular issues covered in the book.
The author, Kupelian shows a clear understanding of the STEP by STEP tactics and strategy of marketing & lobbying, the initial manufacturing of 'campaigns for change' and the fabricating of memes. Deconstructing the cultural psy- on the general public- the precision employed by political movements and pressure groups as they embark on their projects to acclimatise the general public - particularly where social mores and awareness are concerned - which have divided and made our society more fragile as communities often more violent and/or apathetic, so as to engineer social changes in general, often not wanted or supported or understood by the general public.

Loualaw: I bought this book after reading other recommendations, I wanted to read 'After the Ball' by kirk and Madsen except it was retailing at about £100 (now I know why, it is a sickening manifesto) . This was better, this isn't a manifesto but it is an honest eye opening look at the true marketing of evil and how we, in the western world, have bought their corruption. It does offer a solution, it offers the truth and how we can be aware and awake and offers us a chance to step up as mature Christians. I highly recommend this book.

Samuel Holden: I literally couldn't stop laughing, this book is just page after page of credulous nonsense, scaremongering and outright fabrication. Highlights include the way the author uses the very same techniques he 'exposes' to convince you of his own half-baked ideas, the 'gratuitous' use of 'quote marks' throughout, and the way the entire book rests upon the premise that certain ways of life are evil with no real exploration of why other than "because they are different to mine".
The section on Alfred Kinsey, I think, is my personal favourite, as it relies almost exclusively on Dr Judith Reisman's allegations against Kinsey of mass fraud and active involvement in paedophilia, despite these having been thrown out of court with prejudice (a fact the author could not fail to have known if he simply wikipedia'd the people involved), as well as ascertaining that the reports opened up an era of sexual licentiousness, despite the whole point being the way they documented the double standard at the time between what people did in the bedroom and what was 'proper'.
In the words of seemingly every other reviewer: a real eye opener :D

James H. Toner: David Kupelian spends two hundred pages wisely discerning the moral plague about us--and then offers an equally wise, if inchoate, solution: we will reform when we develop a love of truth and respond courageously to its call. The call, Mr. Kupelian tells us, is within, for we are, in fact, hard wired for the truth of a living God. He is, of course, right about that, but he fails to draw the chief spiritual conclusion toward which his own commendable thought propels him. "New" bibles appear almost daily, and one can justify nearly anything (as Shakespeare once told us) by self-serving appeal to Scripture (pp. 217, 237). Some Christians, devoted to their own tortured reading of the Bible (it's called eisegesis), are certain (like the Millerites of yesteryear) that the end is near and that "rapture" will soon be upon us--despite the fact that the Bible strongly insists otherwise (see Paul Thigpen's THE RAPTURE TRAP). If "rapture" is imminent, asks Mr. Kupelian with more than a hint of frustration, then why should anyone concern himself with civic duties? (p. 225). Of course, we are called upon to work out our salvation "with fear and trembling" (Phil 2:12), as he points out, and that...

Bill Muehlenberg: Many books have chronicled the downward spiral of Western culture. This book explains the hows and whys of this decline. It is about how evil is "packaged and perfumed to look good - and good made to appear evil".
The decline, in other words, is not just happening by chance. It is being planned, orchestrated and coordinated by vested interests. There is money to be made in evil. And many groups are getting involved in the marketing of evil, in the attempt to get rich quick.
But it is not just about money. There is also ideology. There are many who simply hate the West, who hate morality, who hate God, who hate the family. And they are doing all they can to subvert the West and recreate it in their own mage.
Kupelian documents these nefarious trends, and shows us why evil seems to be making advances throughout the Western world. He makes it clear that with such activist marketing of evil taking place, a much stronger response is required than is presently being offered.
Now those who are familiar with the culture wars will not find too much new material here, as much of it has been presented elsewhere. But the angle which the author takes is well worth...
