Awake and Aware: Parables, Protests, and the Gospel in a World Gone Numb: If Luther Had A Laptop: Er

In a world overwhelmed by noise, injustice, and spiritual confusion, Awake and Aware is a timely call to conscience. Through a compelling mix of modern parables, biblical reflections, satire, and real-world commentary, Alex Abraham challenges Christians to reexamine what it means to follow Jesus in an age of empire, misinformation, and moral drift.

From the misuse of Christian symbols in nationalist politics to the quiet complicity of churches in systems of greed and exclusion, Abraham exposes how the gospel has been co-opted-and invites readers to recover its radical message of justice, humility, and mercy. Whether reflecting on Ukraine, consumerism, the prosperity gospel, or prophetic parables like "The Trickster's Tale" and "The Beatitudes Reversed," each chapter provokes holy discomfort and deeper awareness.

With the insight of a lifelong believer and the clarity of an outsider to the Western church's entanglement with power, Awake and Aware is not a partisan manifesto-it is a spiritual wake-up call. For readers who yearn for a faith that is both grounded in truth and alive to the suffering of the world, this book offers a courageous path forward.
