“Evangelicalism is the culture in America today.[El-Faizy] takes the reader on a fascinating tour of this emergent national faith.”
“God and Country is a wonderfully-written analysis. Highly recommended!”
“Billed as a primer on evangelical Christianity for the millions of Americans with only a superficial understanding of its inner workings, El-Faizy’s book delivers impressively on its promise. Raised in a strict fundamentalist church, El-Faizy left it behind in college and now looks back at her roots through the lens of the urban, liberal, secular journalist she has become. This insider-outsider position combined with her crisp writing and wide-ranging research make her the perfect bridge from one world to the other. She writes both critically and appreciatively of this growing movement, laying down the historical context for how evangelicalism grew out of austere fundamentalism and into a come-as-you-are ministry that reaches across multiple social boundaries by emphasizing God’s love. El-Faizy takes her readers on tours of megachurches, the exploding Christian publishing and music industries, evangelical colleges and political activism. Along the way, she sprinkles the text with important (but never intrusive) observations about the evolution of religion in America and ends with some surprising and intriguing predictions for the future of Christianity. Among the gaggle of books rushing in to translate the gulf between red-state and blue-state America, this one shines. Well-written, engaging and informative, this snapshot of American evangelicalism is a must-read for students of American religion. ”
“Barry Levine... and Monique el-Faizy are well placed to write this alarming book....Their book is lurid [and] informative....All the President’s Women is breezy but heavy.”
“But a new book by journalists Barry Levine and Monique El-Faizy aims to uncover parts of Trump’s past that should no longer be ignored. In the following passages excerpted from All the President’s Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator, we learn of Trump’s egregious and disturbing misconduct around young women trying to make it in the modeling world in the early 1990s.”
“[T]his book reveals another 43 allegations of alleged inappropriate behavior, including 26 instances of unwanted sexual contact. In this exclusive excerpt from All the President’s Women, Levine and El-Faizy investigate an alleged wave of unwanted touching that preceded his proposal to Melania Knauss, including a disturbing instance of groping at Mar-a-Lago”

les rouages du sentiment de toute-puis
sance de Trump, qui n’a pas daigné
répondre à ces accusations, et dont
les soutiens chantent la ritournelle de
victimes menteuses et opportunistes.”
