Swept Up: Lessons From the End Times

By Matt Garnier

Herded into a cotton-clad flock on the church stage, young Matt wasn't sure why sheep were the preferred analogy for his religion. It started to make sense only after he learned that a culling was imminent, fueling neurotic thoughts and behaviors as he readied himself for the coming apocalypse. Between his homeschooling years and time at a major evangelical university, critical questions were raised: What does it mean to have faith? How can anyone or anything be good in a world that is flawed and due for a reset? And why are kids with bowl cuts more inclined toward the belief system that grants eternal salvation? In this cheeky memoir hailed by book critic Brad S as "a lot of words without saying much," Matt interweaves the topics of faith, fear, and pack mentality with hot takes from philosophers and unleashed church animals in the same boat. Through raw anecdotes and wide-angle analysis, the author shines a little light on some dark days.
