The strategic field manual for defending the Seven Mountains of Culture
In 1971, Saul Alinsky dedicated his tactical manual — by his own written admission — to Lucifer. For five decades, its methodology has been deployed with surgical precision to dismantle Christian influence across every sphere of Western civilization.
Rules for Radical Christians is the answer. Not a call to rage. Not a retreat into pietism. A field manual for intelligent, strategic, biblically-grounded engagement.
This book exposes the specific, replicable mechanics used to capture institutions, isolate leaders, and redefine truth — then delivers the Counter-Rules Christians need to stand firm on every mountain.
A complete diagnostic of the Seven Mountains — Religion, Family, Education, Government, Media, Arts, and Business — and the coordinated strategy used to capture each one. A chapter-by-chapter analysis of Alinsky's 13 Rules and their active deployment in modern institutions. Biblical Counter-Rules for each Alinsky tactic, grounded in Scripture and tested in strategy.
"Be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." — Matthew 10:16
For too long, the church has excelled at innocence but failed at shrewdness.
This book is written for every Christian who refuses to accept that cultural decline is inevitable — or that faithful withdrawal is the only option. It is designed primarily for the laity: the teacher, the journalist, the business owner, the legislator, the parent, the artist — those operating in the six mountains beyond the church who face daily pressure to compromise their convictions.
Most Christian cultural commentary diagnoses the problem and stops there. This book goes further. It names the tactics, maps the terrain, provides the counter-strategy, and hands the reader a framework they can apply in their own mountain, in their own sphere, starting now.
