A call for believers to standing firm in today's oppressive world, No Reason to Hide is a rallying reminder that will ready Christians everywhere to have the courage to proclaim Scripture's truth to a culture in desperate need of what only God can offer.

Review Quotes

"Erwin Lutzer has been sounding this all-important alarm and calling us to sanity in a culture that has been running headlong toward insanity. In his newest book, No Reason to Hide, he shines the light and shows us a way out of the abyss of immortality. Read it, heed it, and share it with others."
--Michael Youssef, PhD, bestselling author of Hope for This Present Crisis

"Erwin Lutzer has once again given us an insightful perspective on the culture through the lens of the Bible. In a day when wokeness has unfortunately infiltrated the church, this book is a refreshing reminder of God's unchanging truth."
--Pastor Gary Hamrick, senior pastor, Cornerstone Chapel, Leesburg, VA

"In today's culturally and politically divided climate, Erwin Lutzer has provided Christians with a course on how to navigate these turbulent waters and stay true to the biblical worldview. While terms like tolerance, racism, and diversity have been redefined and applied as accusations, Lutzer gives us clarity on what is happening and how to combat it. Using God's promises, real heroes' stories, and action steps, every believer can be equipped to stand for truth. This book is both timely and needful."
--Skip Heitzig, author, speaker, and senior pastor of multicampus Calvary Church New Mexico

"No book in the marketplace as succinctly and clearly analyzes, from a biblical perspective, the major cultural issues confronting God's people with such a sound scriptural response. May we heed what God has called us to do lest we face serious consequences both in the church as well as in our interactions with the culture."
--J. Shelby Sharpe, constitutional lawyer

"Erwin Lutzer's book insightfully describes the cultural pitfalls threatening all Christians in today's society and provides much-needed guidance on how to avoid and overcome them. Every Christian who wants to make sense of what's going in our culture and continue to be an effective disciple of Christ should read this book."
--Keisha Toni Russell, counsel, First Liberty Institute

"Erwin Lutzer's powerful new book makes a compelling case for Christians to get off the sidelines and join the battle for our culture and faith. Seeking to separate the church from politics, leaders have allowed the politics of the world to seep into the church and influence the morality and worldviews of congregants. When the church compromises its mission and fails to declare God's eternal truths to a dying world, it leaves a void that the wisdom of the world can never fill. Lutzer challenges Christians to rethink what it means to suffer for Christ. It is a choice we each have to make during these perilous times."
--Dr. Carol M. Swain, distinguished senior fellow for constitutional studies, Texas Public Policy Foundation

"If you are beginning to feel overwhelmed by the ramped-up pressure to conform to the warped demands of today's thought police, then this book is for you. It is a canteen filled to the brim with invigorating biblical wisdom designed to strengthen, embolden, and equip the thirsty hearts of embattled Christians who seek to remain faithful to their Savior. Erwin Lutzer has not only laid out timeless biblical insights but has deftly analyzed the moral crises of our day. Combining these has made for a profoundly important and timely book."
--Dr. Mike Fabarez, host of Focal Point Radio and president of Compass Bible Institute, Aliso Viejo, CA

"In No Reason to Hide, Erwin Lutzer once again brilliantly brings together a biblical perspective on the unprecedentedly crucial issues we are facing as a culture. Important."
--Eric Metaxas, #1 New York Times bestselling author and host of the nationally syndicated Eric Metaxas Radio Show

"Once again, Erwin Lutzer helps answer the question: What does faithfulness look like in our collapsing culture? With biblical insight he deals with issues regarding collective demonization, race, propaganda, and the sexual revolution and its destructive agenda. He also describes his concern that the evangelical church is compromising its message because it has fallen into the trap of interpreting the Bible through the lens of culture. Read this book to be challenged and convicted, and above all, better understand why it is a joyful privilege to represent Christ despite growing opposition. After all, as the title of the book tells us, we have no reason to hide!"
--Dr. Tony Evans, president, The Urban Alternative; senior pastor, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship

"This book is a bold and necessary wake-up call. The cultural questions Erwin Lutzer answers are indeed the most pressing that Christians face today, yet many of us would rather go into comfortable hiding than confront them. As Lutzer so powerfully demonstrates, however, there is no reason to hide. Truth is on our side, and it's time to take that seriously. This is a clear, relevant, and invaluable guide that I'll recommend to Christians for a long time to come."
--Natasha Crain, speaker, podcaster, and author of four books, including Faithfully Different
