From Grove City College

Carl Trueman’s The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self Review Excerpts:

“This is without question one of the most important religious books of the decade.” ― Rod Dreher, from The Wall Street Journal

“This is a characteristically brilliant book by Carl Trueman… . This book reveals how important it is for thinking Christians to distinguish virtue from virtue signaling. The former makes you brave; the latter renders you a man pleaser, which is a hard line to toe in a world where there are so few real men left to please.” ― Rosaria Butterfield, past ACCS conference speaker and author of The Gospel Comes with a House Key and Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert
