For American Christians, what is the right relationship between spiritual identity and national identity? In One Nation over God, Wes Crawford explores the complicated relationship between Christian faith and American patriotism. Drawing from personal stories, history, and cultural observations, Crawford reveals how national devotion has grown into something resembling a civil religion—complete with its own rituals, sacred texts, and symbols. From standing for the national anthem at ballgames to treating the Constitution like holy writ, Americans often blur the line between love of God and devotion to country. Crawford isn’t arguing against patriotism. In fact, he acknowledges the unifying and inspiring role that national devotion can play. But he also warns of its dangers. When Christians assume America is always God’s chosen instrument, or when the flag overshadows the cross, their devotion can drift into idolatry. This blending of faith and patriotism risks distorting the gospel and weakening the church’s prophetic voice. The solution, says Crawford, is to maintain a clear distinction between love of God and love of country. He points to faithful examples—people like Julia Ward Howe, John Lewis, and Dorothy Day—who cared deeply for America yet critiqued its moral shortcomings. Their lives remind us that true Christian faithfulness requires first allegiance to Christ, which may at times call us to challenge our nation rather than applaud it. Clear, engaging, and refreshingly balanced, One Nation over God invites Christians to reflect deeply on where their first allegiance lies. It offers pastors and church leaders practical wisdom for navigating culture wars while maintaining theological integrity. Most importantly, it provides hope: faithful discipleship and thoughtful citizenship need not be enemies.

Large, Heavy or Oversized Orders

Our standard delivery charges are designed to cover the vast majority of orders. However, occasionally an order may be particularly large, heavy or bulky, meaning that the actual cost of delivery is significantly higher than the standard delivery charge shown at checkout.

This is more likely to apply to larger orders being delivered to Northern Ireland, Europe or destinations outside mainland UK, although it may occasionally apply to other orders.

If your order requires an additional delivery charge, we will contact you before dispatching your order to explain the additional cost and obtain your agreement. We will never take an additional delivery payment without contacting you first.

If you do not wish to pay the additional delivery charge, you will have the option to cancel the affected order for a full refund.

European and Rest of World Deliveries

Please note that we are still shipping to the EU and the rest of the world but due to Brexit there maybe delays and customs charges in the country of your delivery. Unfortunately this is outside of our control.

Checking The Progress Of Your Order
