In 2009, the Good News Club came to the public elementary school where journalist Katherine Stewart sent her children. The Club, which is sponsored by the Child Evangelism Fellowship, bills itself as an after-school program of “Bible study.” But Stewart soon discovered that the Club’s real mission is to convert children to fundamentalist Christianity and encourage them to proselytize to their “unchurched” peers, all the while promoting the natural but false impression among the children that its activities are endorsed by the school. 

Astonished to discover that the U.S. Supreme Court has deemed this—and other forms of religious activity in public schools—legal, Stewart set off on an investigative journey to dozens of cities and towns across the nation to document the impact. In this book she demonstrates that there is more religion in America’s public schools today than there has been for the past 100 years. The movement driving this agenda is stealthy. It is aggressive. It has our children in its sights. And its ultimate aim is to destroy the system of public education as we know it.

I assume that like me a lot of you have already seen evidence of this taking place, however in this book author Katherine Stewart has dug deep and unearths some truly shocking data that should make ALL of us, regardless of our religious affiliations, stand up and take notice.

Here are a few of the reviews this book has received:

“The author is a great digger for facts and a respectful narrator as she brings to light a group’s efforts to bring fundamental Christianity to U.S. public schools….In this fascinating exposé, investigative journalist Katherine Stewart uncovers what she asserts to be the hard truth about the Christian right’s “stealth assault on America’s children.” In “The Good News Club” (Public Affairs, 304 pages, $25.99), she investigates crusading evangelical religious missions disguised as innocuous after-school programs, beginning with one at the public elementary school where her children were enrolled in Santa Barbara, Calif.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune 

“Even those well-versed in the religious right’s attempt to Christianize American institutions will likely be shocked by The Good News Club. Katherine Stewart’s book about the fundamentalist assault on public education is lucid, alarming, and very important.”—Michelle Goldberg, author of Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism 

“Please read this book, talk about it, tweet about it, recommend it to friends, review it on Amazon, name and shame the culprits, do everything possible to bring Katherine Stewart’s shocking message to the attention of everyone in America.”—Richard Dawkins
