Faith and Fake News

Catholic Library World
“[Faith and Fake News] is very informative and is recommended for anyone looking to understand the subject on a deeper level. A great resource for high school, public, and academic libraries.”

Cynthia Beach in The Englewood Review of Books
“Faith and Fake News is marvelously helpful. . . . Wightman expresses her concerns for the space where Christian experience and social media intersect. It strikes me as very valuable—as are Wightman’s answers.”

The Christian Century
“[Wightman] offers a user-friendly guide for analyzing claims and provides strategies for dealing with emotions that arise when we consider claims not to our liking.”

Publishers Weekly
“Christians overwhelmed by the media landscape should take a look.”

Library Journal
“This book gives sound advice to readers who engage in debates on social media platforms.”

“The powers and principalities want us scrolling smartphones in constant anxiety and suspicion. What if we had a wise and kind specialist by our side to help us listen to the Holy Spirit rather than our fears? Rachel Wightman is the sort of guide you want to help you consider the sources, to discern well amidst the information deluge, and even to love your neighbor online.” 
—Jason Byassee, senior pastor of Timothy Eaton Memorial Church in Toronto, Ontario
