'I Kid You Not': Notes from 20 Years in the Trenches of the Culture Wars

Lyle Shelton takes readers on a rare behind-the-scenes tour of culture wars. “I Kid You Not”, is because the Left has gotten away with things most Australians would find incredible, if only they knew. Before #MeToo, Shelton fought the legalised sexual abuse of young women. On human rights for the unborn, his revelations of politicians turning a blind eye to the evil of eugenics is shocking. He details the bombing of the Australian Christian Lobby’s office and its poor handling by the Australian Federal Police. Chapters on “Safe Schools” and the 2017 marriage plebiscite are a sad tale of what could have been. Shelton ends with a compelling call for good people to rise and pay the price for a better future. Endorsements Lyle Shelton is a Christian warrior whose tales from the frontlines of the culture wars will set your hair on fire. From identity politics to rainbow fascism and abortion rights, his book charts Australia’s retreat from common sense values, and reveals the valiant struggle of those who refuse to give up their country without a fight. Lyle is a clear writer and lively storyteller who ultimately provides uplifting spiritual fodder for anyone struggling to make sense of this brave new world. – Miranda Devine, columnist for the New York Post and the Daily Telegraph. Fewer people fight the culture wars as bravely and as passionately as Lyle Shelton. And I have an inkling he might have God on his side. The savagery with which the luvvies attack Lyle Shelton is all the proof I need that he is spot on most of the time about so many things. – Rowan Dean, Editor of the Spectator Australia and host of Outsiders on Sky News. Lyle is a man of courage and tenacity. Both those qualities have seen him at the epicentre of some of the most challenging political battles of the past decade. He is among the rare few who could have fought well and survived. These “behind the scenes” insights into Lyle’s daily toils bring back many memories of working alongside him, but also compel me to better fulfil my own Christian duties. I am confident that you, the reader, will feel the same. – Martyn Iles, Managing Director, Australian Christian Lobby.
