PRAISE FOR TRUMP AFTERSHOCK
Stephen Strang’s new book about President Trump is an eye-opener. The part
about George Soros and his nefarious operation is riveting. Stephen shows that
he is indeed an accomplished reporter who gets to the heart of the issue. I
commend Stephen’s latest book, Trump Aftershock, as a must-read at a time
when we are being barraged by false news from the so-called shadow
government.

If I wrote a theme song for the Left that captured their frenzied behavior over the
last two years, I would definitely title it “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” From
special counsels with bogus cases built on an unverified “dossier” to social
media censorship of conservative voices to liberal bullies who attack
administration members—including my own daughter—in public, no one is
immune to the tension. Americans feel like watching the news has become a
front-row seat to the battle for our nation’s very soul. Among the mainstream
media very little credit is given to the president for his accomplishments and his
unwavering stand for conservative values and freedoms, but this important book
you hold in your hands sets the record straight about President Trump and
provides insights into the spiritual aspects of Trump’s presidency as well. I
wrote the foreword for Stephen Strang’s last book, God and Donald Trump, and
now I wholeheartedly endorse his new book, Trump Aftershock, and encourage
you to read it.

On a recent cruise to Alaska, a woman sitting at my table bragged about Stephen
Strang’s previous book, God and Donald Trump, to the lady across the table.
Not knowing that I knew Stephen and had also published my latest book with his
company, she went on and on. “It’s a must-read,” she said. “I couldn’t put it
down!” It made me proud to know Stephen and be interviewed by him for his
follow-up book, which you now hold in your hands. Trump Aftershock
masterfully reveals why Donald Trump’s earth-shattering presidency matters—
because it is about so much more than Donald Trump; it’s a fight to preserve the
Judeo-Christian values and freedoms of our great nation for the next generation.
If you care about the future of our country, you need to read this book.

When my friend Stephen Strang wrote his previous book, God and Donald
Trump, I couldn’t wait to have him on my television show to talk about it
because I feared that too many people believed the lies in the mainstream media,
and I wanted to help people understand the truth about Donald Trump. That’s
why I’m so glad Stephen has written this new book, Trump Aftershock, because
the media’s misrepresentation of our president and his agenda has only gotten
worse since his election. Stephen’s book is one of the only books I know that
sets the record straight from a Christian perspective. Trump Aftershock is a must-
read for politically minded Christians who take religious freedoms and values
seriously, who believe we finally have someone in the Oval Office who supports
those values, and who are praying that these events will cause our great nation to
return to God.

Stephen Strang has had his hand on the pulse beat of America for decades as a
distinguished journalist and publisher. In his new book he deftly documents the
powerful impact President Trump has had on the nation’s culture. The question
is, What happens next? And Stephen delivers a hard-hitting look at where the
nation is headed.

In the 1960s the United States suffered an aftershock when three Ks were
assassinated: John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King.
Afterward the country experienced rebellion—the “God is dead” movement, the
drug and sexual revolution, Roe v. Wade, and other signs of moral decay. The
country then came face to face with another “aftershock” when, contrary to
liberal opinion polls, Donald Trump was elected president. Stephen Strang has
written a fantastic book that captures the impact of Trump’s extraordinary
presidency on our nation and the world, and I encourage you to read it.

Stephen Strang does it again! In Trump Aftershock, Strang captures with
journalistic brilliance the unprecedented change and impact unleashed by the
presidency of Donald J. Trump. Strang not only informs us of what has changed,
but he tells us why things have changed. Anyone interested in finding out why
81 percent of Evangelicals voted for and continue to support Donald Trump
must read this book!

I’m glad my friend Stephen Strang has written this book, Trump Aftershock,
which sets the record straight on the achievements of the Trump administration
and the very real opposition he faces. Stephen is not only an author; he’s a
journalist who heads up a Christian media company we can trust as a source of
news that affects our daily lives. We need more voices like Stephen’s who are
unafraid to speak the truth. Don’t believe the lies of the mainstream media. Get
the facts from trusted Christian sources such as Stephen Strang, Charisma News,
and books such as this. Our president is shaking things up. He needs our support.
It’s time for all of us to become informed, stand united, and call for an end to the
witch hunt investigations, fake news, and hateful rhetoric of those whose agenda
is to bring an end to this president and turn our great nation away from God.

Trump Aftershock is a simple, yet deeply incisive and informative, guide through
the political, cultural, and spiritual earthquake generated by President Trump’s
election and presidency. Anyone truly seeking a deeper understanding of the
extraordinary upheaval generated by President Trump’s election will find Trump
Aftershock to be an invaluable resource.

An awakening … an uprising … something big is happening … and American
culture and the church will never be the same.
I agree with Stephen Strang that “if our nation can begin to truly trust in God
and let His light guide our steps, then that’s the greatest aftershock of all.”

PRESIDENT, AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF CHRISTIAN COUNSELORS
Trump Aftershock is definitely a “for such a time as this” treatise. President
Donald Trump is truly a world shaker, bringing people to their knees in shock or
in prayer, depending on the perspective. Kudos to Stephen Strang for articulating
the aftershocks to Trump’s election in a straightforward and honest way. He has
the courage to work the ministry of the scribe for our times.

My friend Stephen Strang has done it again! If you thought his coverage of
Trump’s election in God and Donald Trump was insightful, you’ll love reading
his new book, Trump Aftershock, which provides an eye-opening look at our
forty-fifth president and his extraordinary agenda and achievements.

Stephen Strang has written the definitive narrative of the explosive beginnings of
Donald Trump’s presidency. Here is the undeniable record of the president who,
in spite of his critics, has kept his promises to America. Stephen Strang’s
journalistic expertise and absolute devotion to accuracy makes this page-turner a
must for every citizen. I especially commend it as well to thinking people who
may lean left. This book sets the record straight. Finally, Christ followers and the
church are challenged not to abandon the public square. Get this book and arm
yourself with the weapon of truth.

From the island of Britain I have lived and watched the Trump presidency and
feel close to its heartbeat. Stephen Strang’s new book, Trump Aftershock, is a
wonderfully written story, capturing all that I have seen. What caught my eye is
that there was a revelation in his writing. It’s very detailed commentary, and
again he’s produced a historical document. Yet it’s a fascinating read
throughout.
My favorite part was Ronald Reagan’s definition of status quo: Latin for “the
mess we’re in.”

Stephen Strang is a careful researcher who, in this new book, Trump Aftershock,
provides documented material for the observer who wants objective truth minus
a biased progressive spin. Strang is also a prophetic voice who challenges the
reader to work and pray for revival in a day of unprecedented opportunity. As
Trump Aftershock closes, Strang reminds the reader, “If our nation can begin to
truly trust in God and let His light guide our steps, then that’s the greatest
aftershock of all.” God has indeed heard the prayer of His people and has
provided proof that there is hope for America. This is not the time for the church
to find shelter in a bunker built by fear but to raise up and claim its identity.
