Is 'Mass Formation Psychosis' real? Is Covid Hysteria a form of propaganda or a natural response to a devastating virus? Were people in power in the dark about Covid or did they use the crisis to promote their own interests? Are fascists and Christian nationalists trying to overthrow America? Does God want us to save America and win the Culture War? Are churches right to adopt vaccine passports? Has God given churches a right to avoid taxation? What does the Bible really say about freedom? In Freedom from Fascism, a Christian Response to Mass Formation Psychosis, Dr. Michael J. Sutton provides a unique, radical, and comprehensive Christian perspective on Covid Hysteria, fascism, and the future of Christianity in the West. Dr. Sutton, the CEO and Founder of Freedom Matters Today challenges the conventional assumptions about the origins of fascism and the nature of Christian nationalism. He exposes the church's love of vaccine passports, tax evasion, and a closed Bible. He is not afraid to take on one of the most corrupt institutions in society, the Christian Church, infamous for whitewashing its history while hiding behind tax exemptions, laughing all the way to the bank. He proves there is a profound difference between the church and Christianity. Religion leads to the church, while faith leads to God. Freedom matters today because freedom comes from God and not from us. Freedom has been distorted by misinformation and fake news. Freedom matters today because we need to be free. Don't go to church, follow Jesus instead. Dr. Sutton writes: 'What does the Bible really say about freedom? It is quite possible you are a victim of misinformation from priests, pastors, and ministers who want to keep the Bible closed. Instead, they tell you to sit down, shut up, and do as you are told. It is sad but true. Our goal at Freedom Matters Today is to do something radical, subversive, and counter-religious, and that is to open the Bible and let God speak today to us about who we are, who he is, and why he sent Jesus Christ. Our goal is to break the hypnotic power the ruling class may have over you, your life, your choices, and your freedom. You have a mind of your own. Think for yourselves. Let God speak through his Word and make up your own mind.There has never been a more crucial time for genuine, authentic, real freedom. At the beginning of the second decade of this century, the best our world can offer is a menu of poisonous delicacies crafted after years of preparation. Take your pick: fascism, fear, shame, guilt, prejudice, sin, evil, or war. Human freedom is often a synonym for living in chains. Liberal democracy, always tenuous and fragile, is now morphing into fascism.Freedom matters today, more than ever, and no more than in dark places, perhaps where you are, right now. I do not know your situation. I do not know your pain, your heart, or your life. But I speak to all of you with what I can, with words, ideas, encouragement, and hope. I hope that this book becomes a resource of hope, encouragement, and refuge for those in our world who suffer in silence in all the dark places. You are not alone, and you are never alone if you know God and God knows you.It is time to step out into the light.It is time to wake up.It is time to be free.'

"Masayoshi Kato said nothing when he shot his best friend dead. His only thought was to leave the island as soon as possible without being seen. As he walked quickly through the forested garden, toward the red bridge that would take him to the little town of Matsushima, he kept contemplating the awful possibility that he was being followed. In his mind, he kept going over the events of the past ten minutes. Only one question mattered: did he get away with it?" Masayoshi Kato is a Kyoto businessman with a past full of dark secrets.

'Gutless, spineless, and cowardly, ' is how he describes the behavior of churches during Covid Hysteria. Unlike many Christians in the West, who, during the pandemic, sold out to money, a better job and reputation, Dr. Michael J. Sutton, nailed his colors to the mast, and has made a very public stand against fascism, both secular and religious. He argues that the Christian is not to comply with the state, submit to tyranny, or sign up to the loyalty tests, but to proclaim the identity, the words and actions of Jesus, and follow him, by challenging the narratives, resisting propaganda, and presenting a Christian perspective on the freedom that only God brings. In this book, he is on the record, in eleven candid, controversial, and Christ-centered conversations about the challenges of our times. They cover many of the topics we are not allowed to talk about: Covid Hysteria, Jesus, faith, Covid Theology, fascism, Ukraine, Russia, the Gaza conflict, government overreach, and indoctrination, including his controversial 2023 trip to Russia. This is the Rev. Dr. Michael J. Sutton, on the record, because freedom matters today, and we all matter to God

From the Introduction, "We are living during perilous times, perhaps dancing precariously on the edge of an abyss that leads to nuclear exchange between America, China, and Russia. If there is nuclear war, there will be the complete destruction of the human race as we know it. It is not fiction, or science fiction, but reality, and it is time to choose, whether we stand for war or we stand for peace, whether we reject the madness and insanity, or embrace it, whether we let nationalism consume us, or seek a more inclusive future for all those made in the image of God." This book is the first in a series of short books which challenge the prevailing narrative of important political, social, and economic issues, from a Christian perspective. Should Christians oppose war? These days, many people are pretending that all is fine, and that life can go on as normal. Life is far from normal. War is upon us. What will you do? In World War 3, will you stand for war or for peace?

As the world watches the genocide unfold in Gaza, millions of Western Christians are pledging loyalty to the state of Israel quoting an ancient text where God is to have said 'nations that bless Israel are blessed, and nations that curse Israel are cursed.' The truth is, that God never said this to Abram in Genesis. Instead, we have the rise of Exemption Theology, the belief that Israel is exempt from the good news of Jesus because they are God's chosen people. Are they? Does God Stand with Israel, and if he does, are the Palestinian people cursed? What did God really say to Abram in Genesis 12? What is the real purpose of this genocide in Gaza? Why does America support Israel? Does God approve of genocide and if he does, how can we reconcile this with the idea of God as a God of love, mercy, and compassion?

Israel is at war, again. This time, it is at war with Gaza, with Lebanon, and with Iran. What is a Christian response to this war, and how can we make sense of it? Who is responsible, what is the truth about Israel's war, why is there war in the Middle East, and why does America support Israel? Is Israel an apartheid state and does God approve of Palestinian deaths? In this unique perspective, Rev. Dr. Michael J. Sutton forces us to confront uncomfortable issues relating not only to Israel, but for all of us living in this world today. From the Jordan to the Sea is the slogan for many in Israel, the dream of Greater Israel, supported by millions of Christian Zionists who believe that what is happening know is the will of God as he prepares to usher in the Rapture. But there is another slogan from another man from Israel, the man Jesus who told us to bring the good news of his person, his power, and his presence, not just to Israel and to the Jordan, but to the ends of the earth.
