Few books I have read were at the exact moment I needed to read them. This is one of them.
The more I read, the more I felt this book was not only a nonfiction book about politics to an extent, it was a self help book, it was a book on spirituality, above all, it was a book that made me think which I always strive for.
What an important book when the world could use more love.

I really enjoyed reading this book and I would definitely look into reading more books by this author.

It took me a while to read this book because how the author explores hate, injustice, anger, and destruction needs utmost patience. It's not the kind of book you'd read in a sitting and it reminded me of a conversational book. The kind that you can read a section of it and start a discussion on major life changing aspects!

This book is so good! It's thought provoking, and blisteringly critical of the current culture of hate that is raging through the US. It at once shines a light on the degrading nature of hate in our culture and inspires the readers to do better.

It is hate in its many forms (pride, greed, abuse) that will destroy the human race. While hate grows and is written off or simply ignored, populism grows that brings forth leaders interested in feeding the fears of others. "When the man of God is no longer the man of God, politics and secular teachings creep in—morality, the truth, and the power of prayer takes the backseat. The church then becomes almost like a club of like-minded people but still retains the appearance of the house of God."
Hate grows when fears, false history, racial superiority, and messages go unchallenged. Hate expands when leaders use these fears as a form of populism and capitalize on amplifying the same hatred. Lies are repeated so many times without shame that they are accepted as truth. Even religion is not spared in Balogun's fiery and fact-filled presentation. Enemy of the Human Race is a book that cuts deep into the problem of hate and its methods. It does more than describe the problem; it presents a cure.
This book is very unique in its message and tone. The fiery tone works well with the message and tying religion, Christianity, into the message should appeal to a large portion of the population. Also, the use of Christianity seems almost weaponized to fight hate.
