 \;<strong>Talia Lavin</strong>'s latest book\,&nbsp\;<em>Wild Faith\,</em>
 &nbsp\;investigates the rise of the Christian Right over the last half-cen
 tury that lays out the grim vision evangelicals are enforcing on our democ
 racy. She will appear virtually to discuss her book\, and take questions f
 rom readers.&nbsp\;</span></p>\n<p><span style="color: #000000\;"><strong>
 Talia Lavin</strong> is a journalist and author of <em>Culture Warlords: M
 y Journey into the Dark Web of White Supremacy</em>\, published in 2020. S
 he has worked for <em>The New Yorker\, HuffPost</em>\, and MSNBC Daily. He
 r work has also appeared in <em>The Washington Post\, New York Magazine\, 
 The New Republic</em>\, and<em> Rolling Stone</em> among others.</span></p
 >\n<p><span style="color: #000000\;">From school boards to the Supreme Cou
 rt\, Christian theocracy is ascendant in America&mdash\;and only through e
 xploring its motivations and impacts can we understand the crisis we face.
  In<em> Wild Faith</em>\, Lavin fearlessly confronts whether our democracy
  can survive an organized\, fervent theocratic movement\, one that seeks t
 o impose its religious beliefs on American citizens. <em>Kirkus</em> has c
 alled&nbsp\;<em>Wild Faith&nbsp\;</em>"A full-bore attack on Christian nat
 ionalism&rsquo\;s crusade to remake America."&nbsp\;<em>Publishers Weekly&
 nbsp\;</em>says "It's an infuriating glimpse into a cloistered world where
  abuse is encouraged."&nbsp\;</span></p>\n<p><span style="color: #000000\;
