I wasn't sure what I would find when I opened "Awake, Not Woke : A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressive Ideology" but I did get more than I expected. Relatively short, somewhat easy read, occasionally bereft of depth, Noelle Mering lays bare the foundation of 'woke' - from its historical evolution from its Marxist roots to current public agenda and underpinnings of BLM.
If you have ever been exasperated at the state of world, or wondered how did we ever get here - decay of the family structure; forced education of unsupported ideologies; gender confusion; suicide increases; anti-racist racism, and much more, Mering lays out directly and succinctly the woke agenda and its deliberate, intentional attempt to alter our society. She clearly articulates why 'structured reason and logic' is lacking and ineffectual in dealing the 'woke' movement and the entire philosophical approach is designed to increase chaos, discord, and disharmony between our fellow humans as opposed to increasing harmonious relationships. She explains how the objectives of peace, family and Christian moral teaching in general are seen as a 'white' vision. Peace cannot abound where every glance, or lack thereof, is a microagression, an act of racism.
Mering presents a good historical synopis. I would have preferred more 'data' and less opinion regarding more contemporary topics - but that's just a white mans opinion[4/5].
