Robertson, now a leading and unflinching Trump supporter, rose to national prominence in the 1960s with his Christian Broadcasting Network and his hit show \u003ci\u003eThe 700 Club\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Terry Heaton was instrumental in Robertson's rise to power and now deeply regrets his role at \u003ci\u003eThe 700 Club\u003c\/i\u003e, where he was executive producer. He now provides the inside story of how evangelical Christianity forced itself on a needy Republican Party in order to gain political influence on a global level. Using deliberate and strategic social engineering, \u003ci\u003eThe 700 Club\u003c\/i\u003e moved Christians steadily into the Republican Party-and moved the party itself to the right. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With a gospel message that appealed to self-interest, \u003ci\u003eThe 700 Club\u003c\/i\u003e violated numerous laws in an attempt to create a Shadow Government of Evangelicals, all in the name of doing God's work on earth. The results of this long-term campaign were fully on display in the 2016 electoral season.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry Heaton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1949017044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949017045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OR Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Terry Heaton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372472488191,"sku":"9781949017045","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_25862bf5-3350-417c-94b0-a68b9851ef19.jpg?v=1732726037","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gospel-of-self-terry-heaton-9781949017045","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
