Free to Believe: The Battle Over Religious Liberty in America by Luke Goodrich - A Book Review

Free to Believe: The Battle Over Religious Liberty in America  Luke Goodrich


For Christians, this book may very well be the most important book you read this year other than the Bible. Luke Goodrich is an attorney at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. He has won multiple Supreme Court cases involving religious freedom. He also teaches an advanced course in constitutional law at the University of Utah law school., and he is a Christian. With this background, Goodrich clearly outlines the changes in our culture and the impact they have on religious freedom, but he doesn't leave readers discouraged or hopeless. Using Scripture and his knowledge of the law and precedents, Goodrich clearly outlines ways Christians can speak into secular society to demonstrate the need for religious freedom, and ways we can be proactive in protecting our rights to practice our faith. Just as important, Goodrich points out ways in which Christians are both sabotaging (my word, not his) our freedoms as well as misrepresenting God to a hurting world.

I strongly urge you to pick up a copy of Free to Believe and share it among your Christian friends. I am grateful to have received a copy from Multnomah in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review and received no monetary compensation.  #PRHpartner
