For God and Country: The Christian Case for Trump

**Updated for 2024 with a New Introduction**

Donald Trump—Defender of Religious Freedom

In 2016, many Christian leaders at first opposed candidate Donald Trump. He was a former social liberal, and his occasional vulgarity, multiple marriages and divorces, and tabloid scandals made it impossible for him to defend Christian values in public life. Or so they thought.

Trump nevertheless won four-fifths of the Evangelical vote in 2016, as well as the majority of the Catholic vote. He has been the most ardent and effective presidential defender of religious liberty and the pro-life cause since Ronald Reagan—and perhaps in U.S. history.

In For God and Country, Dr. Ralph Reed draws on his deep knowledge of American history, his unsurpassed experience as a political strategist, his personal dealings with President Trump and the First Family, and his moral commitment as a Christian to show why Catholics and Evangelicals should continue to strongly support their unlikely champion.

In For God and Country, Reed reveals:

• The sincerity of President Trump’s defense of the Christian faith—and why he has delivered policy victories when other pro-Christian presidents haven’t
• Why Trump is the most pro-Israel president in American history
• How liberals hope to demoralize Christians—and thus defeat Donald Trump and reverse his pro-life, pro-family, pro–religious freedom policies
• Why Never-Trump Christians naively preach de facto political surrende

For God and Country is not just required reading for the  election; it is required reading for every conservative Christian who loves America and wants to return it to Christian values.

 

Ralph Reed is founder and chairman of Faith & Freedom Coalition, a pro-family public policy organization with over 2 million members.  He has worked on 11 presidential campaigns and currently serves on the Pro-Life and Evangelicals for Trump committees for President Trump’s reelection campaign.  He chaired the Georgia Republican Party and was a senior advisor to both George W. Bush presidential campaigns. 

He was the Executive Director of the Christian Coalition from 1989 to 1997. The Wall Street Journal has called him “perhaps the finest political operative of his generation.”  He is Chairman and CEO of Century Strategies, a public relations firm. 

Reed earned a B.A. from the University of Georgia and Ph.D. in history from Emory University.  He and his wife, Jo Anne, have four children and one grandchild and reside in Atlanta, Georgia.
