Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents by Rod Dreher is a great summary of where America is politically, and roadmap for where she is headed. It also provides great encouragement for Christians who are concerned about holding on to their faith in the current and coming political climate.
Dreher does a great job of showing how critical theory leads to totalitarianism and, ultimately, tyranny. He demonstrates how it leads to giving up freedoms one step at a time. And he provides examples from countries and cultures that have walked this road before us.
Part 2 of the book provides testimonies from brave men and women who survived totalitarian regimes with their faith intact, coming out on the other side as heroes. It teaches principles we need to be honing and strengthening now so they are firmly ingrained in us when difficult times come. Many of these principles are directly correlated to how God created us, giving us the tools we need to survive tyranny.
This book is a great addition to a worldview curriculum.
