"Austin Fischer has quickly become one of my favorite cultural commentators. I find myself enthralled and impressed with his ability to synthesize complicated issues into entertaining observations and applications for the reader. He is an equal opportunity offender, and while I don't agree with every word, I learn so much from what he writes and feel challenged in my own convictions. You will too! This is a book you're going to want to share!"

--Jonathan Pokluda, lead pastor, Harris Creek



"Austin Fischer has written an important book for our time. As he puts it, 'our zeal for justice and righteousness is so easily compromised by judgment and self-righteousness.' Both pastoral and provocative, Us for Them is a clear, uncomfortable, necessary, and ultimately hopeful work that calls Christians to embody the way of Jesus, which is to say, the way of love, humility, and kindness."

--Jay Y. Kim, pastor, WestGate Church



"In our increasingly polarized political landscape we are in constant danger of being conscripted as foot soldiers for cannon fodder in America's culture wars. But surely Christians should have an instinct that we are called to a presence more noble than rhetorical trench warfare. Austin Fischer emphatically intuits this in his timely book, Us for Them. Fischer writes with intelligence, eloquence, and humor as he points us toward a transcendence that rises above the hate-politics of our current culture--a transcendence that is truly Christian."

--Brian Zahnd, author of The Wood between the Worlds
