I'm smiling because this book is both fun and weighty, a rare accomplishment. Becky Garrison takes on the narcissistic features of religion and spirituality in the United States. What, you don't see the narcissism? Uh oh, you might be living in narcissism. @LakeDriveBooks

On this episode, Mick and I get into our own faith journeys. Between who we are as publishing people and our authors and their books, we are each influencing the other, and not pretending there’s neutrality. publishingdisrupted.substack.com/p/where-were-c…

Authors, publishing & exvangelical friends: we covered a lot in this recent Publishing Disrupted podcast with author Marla Taviano. open.substack.com/pub/publishing…

I don’t often write about my day job, but this week on Substack I did. It's about the amazing new people who joined together at Hyponymous Literary. open.substack.com/pub/dvdmorris/…

"With liberalism, with so much historical mixing of cultures, with the way one religion in particular was and is used as a cudgel for supremacy, it’s not hard to agree that we lack robust, colorful, textured, rich-tasting traditions in the US." open.substack.com/pub/dvdmorris/…

"If the MAGA crowd really wanted to know about men who rape & molest kids, they could start a lot closer to home than the elite world of billionaires who visited Epstein’s private island. They could start by focusing their gaze on the Southern Baptist Convention." 1/2

Hey @Franklin_Graham, you really might enjoy reading some of these books. You might find them eye opening and your soul will thank you.

Oh yes, yes indeed. Click through friends. Learn and grow.

@AudreyCFarley It will be a great partnership, and wishing the best for you in this role for a long time to come.

After many years of working one-on-one with authors, I am excited to be joining David Morris at his agency, Hyponymous Literary!

I'm quite glad about this. It feels super creative. Welcome Audrey.

Through personal stories, research, and sharp-witted analysis, Becky uncovers patterns of gaslighting within religion and spirituality. This book isn’t just about exposing abuse—it’s about reclaiming faith and spirituality on our own terms. lakedrivebooks.substack.com/p/wont-you-joi…

@masonmennenga There's no love like Christian hate.

a lot of christians are like “what if we believed the exact opposite of what jesus said”

And that’s the truth

“…evangelicalism became the apex predator of culture that we see today. It consumed other “religions,” complete with many customs and traditions, and became more a religion and culture substitute.” open.substack.com/pub/dvdmorris/…

I had no idea this would resonate so much. So many incredible comments. The good news is that it's not too late to grow. Grateful. "The Evangelical Kids Who Never Got to Be Kids" open.substack.com/pub/dvdmorris/…

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

In other news...While sidelining a clergy sex abuser database, the SBC Executive Committee disfellowshipped an Alaskan church for its "embrace of egalitarian views." The senior pastor was a man but they dared to believe women might be equal! #ThisistheSBC tennessean.com/story/news/rel…

As early as five or six, evangelicals initiate their young. Make no mistake, there is little room for adolescence in this scenario. open.substack.com/pub/dvdmorris/…
