Synopsis

Social justice has been able to gain traction in the evangelical church due to a lack of clarity on key issues of biblical justice. The "woke church movement" seeks to capitalize on this lack of clarity and push politically progressive ideas in the conservative evangelical church. Biblical sounding words, such as "justice" and "love", are robbed of their meaning and the lack of clear teaching on these issues has put the layman in an uncomfortable position. Do I question leaders I have always respected and learned from or do I go along with ideas that seem obviously wrong to me?

The good news is that the solution is straightforward. There is a handful of easy to memorize verses that teach easy to understand principles that refute each objectionable aspect of the social justice movements key errors. They have been there all along they just need to be applied to our modern context in a straightforward way. As an example, God told the Israelites to not hate Egyptians in Deuteronomy 23:7. "Thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land." This is despite the fact that Egyptians had enslaved the Israelites prior to the Exodus. Understood properly, this can be directly applied to the modern American context. American blacks should not seek to treat white Caucasians with contempt, even though they were enslaved in this land. This has implications in church government, civil government, and interpersonal relationships, all of which contradict the woke church movement. This book will unpack this verse and more.

AD Robles is a Puerto Rican reformed Christian. His family tree includes African slaves, European slaveholders, slave traders, and native Americans. All the usual accusations and insults don't work against him and his family. More importantly, he has a knack for teaching biblical concepts in layman's terms, thereby amassing a following on his YouTube channel, which is dedicated to this task. Unlike many major theologians, AD does not try to dazzle with complicated words or reference obscure philosophers. Instead, he seeks to be understood plainly. For a handbook of this sort, this is crucial.

Sales arguments

  • AD Robles's YouTube Channel AD has 13,000 subscribers and 1.7 million views, all on this topic and Christian living.
  • AD Robles has a Twitter following is 7,500 and over 100 Patreon supporters totaling $1500 per month.
  • His podcast on the Fight Laugh Feast Network has roughly 5,000 downloads per episode.
  • He has a growing email subscriber list of those interested in social justice in the church with roughly 1500 names.

Similar titles

  • "What Is the Mission of the Church?: Making Sense of Social Justice, Shalom, and the Great Commission" by Kevin DeYoung. My book is different since it will be specifically a polemic in nature.
  • "Woke Church: An Urgent Call for Christians in America to Confront Racism and Injustice" by Eric Mason My book is different since it will be the kryptonite to this. This is what I am arguing against.
  • "Generous Justice: How God's Grace Makes Us Just" by Timothy Keller - My book is similar in that its an apologetic. But different in perspective and in style. Timothy uses heady and cosmopolitan language. Mine will be more direct and gritty. His book would be read at a cocktail party on the upper west side of Manhattan. Mine would be read in a dive bar in the east village.

Audience

The layman in the pews who knows that their leaders sound different on these issues, but they might not know how to put their finger on why it troubles them so much. According to YouTube analytics, my audience is American, 75% male, typically between 25-45 years old and anecdotally, politically conservative and Christian..

About the author

AD Robles is a conservative Christian living in the state of New Hampshire with his wife and three young sons. He grew up in a conservative Christian household but came to faith as an adult when he lives in New York City and worked in technical consulting/talent acquisition on Wall Street. Shortly after his conversion, he moved to Vermont where he took up the preaching duties of a community church in Middletown Springs and subsequently planted a church in Rutland, VT.

After the election of Donald Trump in 2016, he noticed an alarming trend of overtly progressive ideas being preached from formerly conservative pulpits around the country. In particular, the issue of race, caught his attention since he is 100% Puerto Rican. Since then he has grown a YouTube channel and podcast solely dedicated to the rise of race/gender-focused "social justice" nicknamed the "woke church," and the biblical answers to this error, which many see as the most significant threat to the gospel of Jesus Christ in a generation.

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.

Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner

I will graduate in November and be officially an outreach pastor at my local church. I am at war with this “woke” nonsense as well.

    I appreciate what you do. This cultural ideology has infiltrated every corner of the American church. Fathers have done a terrible job empowering their children to think for themselves, to examine scripture to see what is true by God’s standard, and to contend for the faith that has been afforded to them by the grace of God. Thank you for being an encouragement in the fight for true justice, against the culture’s justice that has been embraced by many in the church. I will continue to pray for guidance and humility as I pray for our brothers and sisters to see the truth of what they are attaching themselves to. I appreciate you, brother, and I pray for you when I watch your videos on YouTube.
    Best,
    Mike

    I have friends who are in leadership and have been influenced by this new theology. They are unaware what is happening politically or socially in the USA and they are born again Christians. They are all riding the BLM train and receive critical race teachings and they aren't aware of it. Thank you, for giving me a chance to help bring back my brothers from sin and error like they have done for me. God bless you, your family, your ministry and most importantly, your relationship with God, the Son and the Holy spirit.
