Publisher's summary

IT’S TIME FOR THE CHURCH TO STAND UP AND FIGHT BACK AGAINST SEXUAL IDENTITY IDEOLOGUES AND THEIR UNHOLY ANNEXATION OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.

We are living in crazy times. Biological men are competing and winning against biological women in sports. The newest Supreme Court justice declined to answer the simple question: “What is a woman?” Record numbers of young Americans now identify as transgender. Sexually explicit materials permeate schools. Pedophiles have rebranded as “minor-attracted persons.”

And now sexual identity and gender ideology advocates have hijacked the civil rights movement, co-opting its success for their own insidious purposes. They have sold the lie that sexual identities are equivalent to race and that the fight for the rights of “sexual minorities” is the final frontier in the struggle for civil rights.

To make matters even worse, many evangelical leaders, eager to appease the culture, have gone along to get along—even excusing and redefining sinful behavior as a mere “sexual identity.”

In It’s Not Like Being Black, pastor and bestselling author Voddie T. Baucham Jr. equips Christians to fight back against this pervasive sexual identity ideology and stand firm in biblical truths, giving them the courage to:

• Remain vigilant and protect their children from the onslaught of this insidious ideology

• Contend for biblical truth in the marketplace of ideas

• Boldly celebrate, cherish, and defend true marriage

• Willingly suffer as strangers and aliens for holding fast to what the Bible actually says

Now is the time for the Church to act. Christians cannot contradict Scripture, discard thousands of years of tradition, subvert the English language, and deny fundamental reality without paying a heavy price.

Great content - distracting pronunciations

Loved the content and argument laid out. The reader had no idea how to pronounce some words including the author's last name. I'd have to stop and think about what he actually had just said every time he pronounced "idolater" as "idol-ate-er"... Just one example.
Doesn't reduce how great and important the content of the book is though.

Very powerful & NECESSARY

Because I follow James Lindsay's work, I was familiar with a lot of the facts & material in the book, but Voddie Baucham definitely made it REAL. And horrifying.

My one complaint is that it wasn't read by the author. Mr. Baucham is such an excellent and powerful speaker and he probably knows how to pronounce everything properly, but I realize that reading an audiobook takes a long time; his voice and time is best used bringing people to Christ.

A very necessary read

Regardless of whether you like Voddie Baucham or not, what he writes in this book is hard to argue with. "It's Not Like Being Black" is an absolutely important listen/read because what he's writing about in this book has and is engulfing the society all around us. This isn't necessarily a fun listen/read, but it's necessary in understanding what has happened in our culture, what is going on now, and where it's going ... and the truth is it should serve as an important wake up call to any Christians who have tried to ignore this, or want to deny the facts. The great thing about all of it, though, and Baucham does a good job of wrapping up at the end, is that despite what we're seeing in the world today, there is always hope ... and it's worth fighting for to help try and craft a better world for our kids, and their kids, and their kid's kids--whether that's in the schools, in politics, or elsewhere. For as he makes clear, if one of our main responsibilities as Christians is to bring glory to God by doing what we can to help people thrive, we cannot not do the necessary work of bringing Jesus's wise and good ways to live to all levels of society we can, I'd definitely recommend this audiobook. Unfortunately, the narration is a bit subpar.

excellent content, poor narration

when I pre-ordered this book, I expected that it would be read by the author as are some of his other books. Unfortunately this is not the case, this narrator badly mispronounces many common words such that it makes listening hard at some points. I would recommend this book as a print book, not this version of the audiobook

So important

The way this LGBT agenda has taken over this country. This book is desperately needed!
That’s why we are living through a Romans one judgment

thorough

In a similar fashion to every other title I have read of his, he does an outstanding job of weighing current issues against the truths of scripture. It is well thought out, and to the point. I’m thankful for his efforts in writing this.

Great book with one complaint

This book was loaded with mispronunciations. Several names and terms weren’t pronounced correctly. Otherwise it was wonderful.

Please redo this audio narration.

I am extremely disappointed in the narration of this book. I hope someone alerts Voddie Baucham to listen to this for himself. The quality of his work is so excellent and the narration is so horrible that listening to the audiobook is an insult to Mr. Baucham. I couldn't even make myself finish listening. I returned it and will purchase the written version elsewhere and read it instead. Audible should be ashamed of putting out such a low quality reading. Is there no editing process for audiobooks as there is for written work? Please do better Audible.

Great content but terrible narrator

The content of this book is excellent, but it’s by far the worst reader I’ve ever listened to. There are so many mispronunciations, with the most egregious being the author’s own name.
I’ve never heard hegemony mispronounced in so many creative and horrific ways.
Other examples include “Annutin Scallya” (Antonin Scalia), “Deutomomonee” (Deuteronomy), “idellayters” (idolaters), “Phlipee” (Phillipi), and too many others to list.
If you can stand to listen to it without wanting to scrape your eardrums out of your head, it can be highly educational and very interesting.

Pastor Baucham's words are straight from our heavenly father!

This book needs to be read or listened to by every single parent and young person in the west and abroad. we as Christians are called to Arms in this spiritual battle and the wonderful thing is is that we know that God is Victorious! thank you so much Pastor! Blessings to all who read this book and prayers to those who deny God's will.
