Review Quotes: -- Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us " Toxic Empathy is an eye-opening and truthful corrective to a confused culture that calls evil good and good evil. Informative and packed with biblical truth, it is disarmingly compassionate and emotionally compelling. This is THE book for this cultural moment." -- Alisa Childers, author of The Deconstruction of Christianity and host of The Alisa Childers Podcast "This book will help all readers to understand the urgency of the moral battle of our time. Stuckey shows how moral confusion can take the shape of a corrupted, toxic form of empathy and compassion. The antidote to confusion is the truth--and thoughtful Christians will be very thankful for this book." -- R. Albert Mohler, Jr., president, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and editor of WORLD Opinions Biographical Note: Allie Beth Stuckey is the author of You're Not Enough (And That's Okay) and the host of the podcast Relatable, where she analyzes culture, news, and politics from a biblical perspective. In addition to podcasting and writing, she speaks to various organizations across the country about the importance of constructing a biblical worldview. She and her husband are the proud parents of three children. Brief Description: "We are told that empathy is the highest virtue-the key to being a good person. Is that true? Or has "empathy," like so many other words of our day- "tolerance," "justice," "acceptance"-been hijacked by bad actors who exploit compassion for their own political ends? In Toxic Empathy, Allie Beth Stuckey argues that empathy has become a tool of manipulation by left-wing activists who bully people into believing that they must adopt progressive positions to be loving. She explores the five most heated issues through which toxic empathy is deployed: abortion, gender, sexuality, immigration, and social justice. Progressives use catchy mantras to present their perspective as empathetic, like "abortion is healthcare," "love is love," or "no human being is illegal," but in each case, they ignore the other side of the moral equation. For example, abortion is presented as compassionate for the woman, but what about the human life the procedure kills? This book isn't about killing empathy; it's about submitting our empathy to God's definitions of love, goodness, and justice. Stuckey exposes the logical pitfalls and moral consequences of toxic empathy, equipping Christians with research-backed, Biblical truths to dismantle the progressive lies that have permeated our culture- and our church"-- Publisher Marketing: A sharp Christian voice makes a bold argument: when politics are driven by empathy rather than truth, innocent people pay the price.
