Identity politics are beginning to encroach on every aspect of life. Civil liberties are increasingly seen as a threat to \"safety\". Progressives marginalize conservative, traditional Christians, and other dissenters. Technology and consumerism hasten the possibility of a corporate surveillance state. And the pandemic, having put millions out of work, leaves our country especially vulnerable to demagogic manipulation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLive Not By Lies\u003c\/i\u003e, Dreher amplifies the alarm sounded by the brave men and women who fought totalitarianism. He explains how the totalitarianism facing us today is based less on overt violence and more on psychological manipulation. He tells the stories of modern-day dissidents--clergy, laity, martyrs, and confessors from the Soviet Union and the captive nations of Europe--who offer practical advice for how to identify and resist totalitarianism in our time. Following the model offered by a prophetic World War II-era pastor who prepared believers in his Eastern European to endure the coming of communism, \u003ci\u003eLive Not By Lies\u003c\/i\u003e teaches American Christians a method for resistance: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e SEE: Acknowledge the reality of the situation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e JUDGE: Assess reality in the light of what we as Christians know to be true.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e ACT: Take action to protect truth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAleksandr Solzhenitsyn famously said that one of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming totalitarianism can't happen in their country.
