Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age

By: Rosaria Butterfield, Kevin DeYoung - foreword

Narrated by: Rosaria Butterfield

Bestselling Author Rosaria Butterfield Confronts 5 Cultural Lies She Once Believed

Modern culture is increasingly outspoken against a biblical understanding of what it means to be a woman. Even some Christians, swayed by the LGBTQ+ movement, have rejected God’s word on issues of sexuality and gender in favor of popular opinion. In light of these pressures, it’s more important than ever to help women see the truth about who God created them to be.

In this powerful book, Rosaria Butterfield uses Scripture to confront 5 common lies about sexuality, faith, feminism, gender roles, and modesty often promoted in our secular culture today. Written in the style of a memoir, this book explores Butterfield’s personal battle with these lies—interwoven with cultural studies, literary criticism, and theology—to help listeners see the beauty in biblical womanhood, marriage, and motherhood.

Truth is not popular

Rosaria did an excellent job in bringing truths of the Bible, which are very countercultural to today’s modern ideas, to light in this hard-hitting title! Plenty of people may have a hard time with what she says in this book, but she backs it all up with scripture and reason. It will require any listener who disagrees to take a hard look at what they do believe and how that reconciles with God’s Word. I highly recommend this book.

Poignant and powerful!

As the book began I was taken back by Butterfield’s firmness and forwardness, but by the end of the book I treasured these qualities as I read! What a treasure to the modern church and believers. This book is logical and firmly rooted in Scripture. Her stories shared were engaging and humorous, while being relatable and compelling. Must read(or listen to the audiobook!) 6/5 stars, easy!

A Textbook Must-Read

Rosaria’s narration can be very one-note, making this feel more like a college-course lecture than a story. However, her testimony, personal stories, and logical explanations more than make up for this.

Christians and non-Christians alike should read this, if for no other reason than to see how to treat/understand where the other side is coming from. It is triggering. It is blunt. And it is presented from a heart that’s “been there” and desires to share what the Bible says.

God can change the heart of anyone who chooses to seek Him

This was an amazing book that was both informative regarding the common lies that are told today in our churches and communities as well as helpful in its insights PLUS a wonderful story of the authors journey to faith. As a man I was struck by the importance of God’s role for men and women and how the creator of all mankind has a plan for each individual that intimately intertwine with their biological sex. Feminism has now destroyed the very people i.e. women, that it fought so hard to raise to the top and even more so with the onset of transgenderism where feminist cannot even define what a woman is nor do they choose to support women athletes struggle against the transgender movement. One thing is evident also as I read this book and that is that evil is alive and well and that we ignore Satan and his attack on us and our children at our own peril, it’s only through faithful devotion to God through reading the Bible and praying that we have any hope as human beings of living a meaningful life on this planet for the wisp of time that we are here. The analogy of being hooked to Adams belt and then when we become saved being unhooked by the Holy Spirit and hooked to Jesus on his belt is a powerful visual. Being hooked as if we are on a hook on Adam’s belt makes me think that we as humans, despite the fact that the hook is painful, choose to paint the hook to make it look nice, choose to build a house on the hook, choose to put two cars on the hook with us, all of which creates more pain for us and yet it’s so ingrained as Americans that this is the American dream when in essence it’s just the hook that brings us that much further away from Jesus and closer to the pit of fire. This is one of those books you have to read over and over again to truly capture all it has to offer.

So much truth from lived experience 

This book is sorely needed for our time. There are many lies that cannot stand Rosario Butterfield speaks tothe most dangerous lies with great care.
