This book by Grace Halsell came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Bassem Youssef. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
"Exposes Falwell's Christian tours as having only one purpose: to raise money for Falwell and Israel ... A great expose of the strange marriage of convenience between the US Christian right and Israel .. The danger to America lies not so much in the so-called "crazies" as with mainstream Christians who have embraced a new theology less than 200 years old. It gives them a free Rapture ticket. While they are certain there will be a great Tribulation, they are brainwashed to believe they won't suffer a moment of agony. As Jerry Falwell puts it, "I'm not worried. You know why? I ain't gonna be here!"--Back cover.
“there's an incredible book called like forcing the hands of gods oh beautiful book I read it's like it's published 1998 but it still matters today”— Bassem Youssef
