Publisher's Summary
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“This may just be the single most important book on modern Evangelicalism in recent years. It is bold, clear, and very well-researched.”—John MacArthur
"Some will quibble over details, but no one should miss the powerful warning in this book. We face a gathering storm, as Winston Churchill warned a century ago, but this time the enemy is inside as well as outside the gates. Every convinced and unashamed Evangelical should read, ponder, and pray over this important book."—Os Guinness
How deeply have leftist billionaires infiltrated America’s churches?
In Shepherds for Sale, Megan Basham of the Daily Wire documents how progressive powerbrokers—from George Soros, to the founder of eBay, to former members of the Obama administration—set out to change the American church. Their goal: to co-opt evangelicals for political purposes. She exposes:
· The left-wing billionaires, foundations, and think tanks that deliberately target Christian media, universities, megachurches, nonprofits, and even entire denominations
· The celebrity megachurch pastor who secretly encouraged a group of pastors to change their views on sexuality
· The revered Presbyterian theologian who backed a congregation rebelling against his own denomination
These are just a glimpse into the compromises and astroturf campaigns Basham uncovers. Many evangelical leaders are pushing their members to “whisper” about sexual sins, reconsider the importance of abortion, lament the effects of climate change, and repent of “perpetuating systemic racism.” And in exchange for toeing a left-wing line, many of those church leaders and institutions have received cash, career jumps, prestige, and praise. Basham brings the receipts, and names names.
A rigorously reported exposé, Shepherds for Sale is a warning of what happens when the church trusts the world’s wisdom instead of Scripture.

Clear objective journalistic reporting, balanced presentation, well read by author.
The breadth of research, cross-issue reporting and tying the leftist agenda together as it moves across American evangelicalism. The conservative churches worldwide need to take note. It’s already beginning in every denomination- even those so far ‘holding out’. Megan’s reporting and presentation is eloquent and clear, her research knowledge clearly shows and gives strength to her arguments… so sad that the slippery-slope decline away from Sola Scriptura has taken such a toll on the evangelical churches.

A Must Read
I had NO idea that the subtle tentacles of 'new thought' are deeply entrenched in power & politics... including the church.

A book every pastor should read
As a pastor who has been judged harshly over the years for standing up for the truth, I appreciate the voice I've been given through the pages of this book.

An excellent book
This was an eye opening, informative and inspiring listen. I'm neither an evangelical Christian, nor an American, yet I found the writing very pertinent to my church (Catholic) and my country (New Zealand). This is a must-read for all Christians everywhere in the western world.

Difficult to review
It seems like so much of Basham’s book is well researched and important - but knowing how clearly she has misquoted Gavin Ortlund in the climate change chapter leaves me questioning the rest of her quotes (Keller, Carson, etc). One to read while also examining her claims yourself I suppose.
