A war manual for people who have yet to recognize they are at war.
Your schools, your church, your country, and your family are under attack by a movement most people can't even name correctly. This book names it — and gives you the tools to fight back.
Your children's curriculum was written by people you would not invite into your home. Your church is being pressured to baptize an ideology that hates it. Your job, your speech, your family, and your country are all being reshaped by a movement most people can't even name correctly — let alone fight.
You can feel that something is deeply wrong. You have probably been told, in a hundred ways, that the feeling is your fault — that you are paranoid, behind the times, on the wrong side of history. You are not. You are reading the situation correctly. Counterspell tells you exactly what is being done to you and yours, who is doing it, why it works, and what to do.
This is not a book about politics. The fight is not about marginal tax rates. It is about whether the country your grandchildren inherit will resemble the one you grew up in, or whether it will be ruled by an ideology that treats your faith, your family, and your way of life as obstacles to be removed.
Most books in this space pretend the other side is just confused — that with better messaging or sharper arguments, the hostility will moderate. It will not. The hostility is not a misunderstanding. Counterspell names the system for what it is and provides the toolkit for the counter-revolution that follows.
Yes — to do that, the book traces the lineage. From Plato's Republic, through Hegel and the Hermetic tradition, through Marx and the Frankfurt School, through the long march through the institutions, into the curricula and bureaucracies running your country today. That history is necessary. Without it, you are fighting shadows. With it, you can see the enemy's playbook clearly enough to break it.
The reader who finishes this book closes it knowing exactly what is happening, why it is happening, who is responsible, and what to do.

Get in touch about quantity orders →The book is written for the widest possible audience. Pastors and church leaders watching ideology enter the pews. Activists and political operators who intend to win, not manage decline. Parents, homeschoolers, and educators who recognize their children's curriculum was written by people they would not invite into their homes. State legislators, lawyers, and policy professionals.
It is also written for skeptics. The argument does not require shared religious commitments to follow. It does require willingness to read carefully and finish the book.
No. Counterspell is rigorous and citation-heavy where the argument requires it, but it is written for the educated general reader, not for an academic peer. The author's stated goal is presenting this material in accessible narrative form for an audience that has lives and jobs and only so many hours in the week. The afterword distills the entire argument into twelve plain lessons.
No. The book builds the conceptual framework as it goes. Where it touches Plato, Hegel, Marx, the Frankfurt School, Hermeticism, or the Reformed theological tradition, it explains what is needed to follow the argument without prior coursework. Sequential reading is recommended; the argument is cumulative.
Quite possibly. From the Introduction: "If you are a progressive, the early chapters will challenge everything you hold dear. If you are a mainstream conservative, the later chapters will challenge your comfortable assumptions about institutions you trust. If you are a libertarian, the theological underpinnings will grate. If you are a Christian, the frank treatment of certain esoteric practices will disturb."
Persistence is rewarded with knowledge. Truth knows nothing of discomfort or embarrassment.
Twenty-eight chapters across five movements, plus introduction, afterword, index, and bibliography. A serious read — long enough to make the full argument, short enough that a committed reader can finish it.

Yes. Counterspell establishes the diagnosis and the counter-revolutionary toolkit. A future volume will develop the positive theological vision in greater depth — the firm foundation on which a refounding rests.
