LET THERE BE LIGHT: The Quest for Truth
Book One of FAITHFUL RESISTANCE: Seeking the Way of Jesus Together
Something has gone wrong with American Christianity.
Many people who once found comfort in the Church now find themselves heartbroken by what it has become. The rise of Christian nationalism has left countless believers—and former believers—wondering how the message of love, mercy, and humility became entangled with power, fear, and exclusion.
In Let There Be Light: The Quest for Truth, Angela M. Becek invites Christians to reclaim their faith from the grip of nationalism and biblicism as she explores the opening chapters of Genesis while blending history, theology, and personal reflection. Together, you’ll learn how biblicism and ideology have distorted the Gospel—and discover how critical, courageous engagement with Scripture can lead us back to love, peace, and purpose.
Whether you’re still in the pews, standing at the margins, or unsure what you believe anymore, Let There Be Light welcomes you into a thoughtful conversation about truth, hope, and what it really means to walk in the way of Jesus.
Written in devotional format, Let There Be Light divides the first 11 chapters of Genesis into 28 readings with thought-provoking commentary to inspire conversation in books clubs and among friends.
Let There Be Light explores how these stories have been weaponized by some Christians to gain power over others, while inviting readers to consider alternative ways of interpreting very old traditions.

Book Two of FAITHFUL RESISTANCE: Seeking the Way of Jesus Together
In a world where Christian Nationalism is reshaping public life and redefining faith, many believers find themselves caught between the Jesus they long to follow and the distorted image promoted in the name of power. This shift in theology has left countless Christians wondering how the humble teacher from Nazareth became a symbol of control, fear, and exclusion.
In The The Alt King in Born: Rejoice and Do Not Be Afraid, Angela M. Becek invited readers to revisit the early chapters of the Gospels and to rediscover who Jesus is and what his kingship actually means. Through historical context, theological insight, and honest reflection, Becek exposes how biblicism and ideology have overshadowed the message of Jesus, replacing compassion with conquest. It offers a courageous, faithful exploration of Advent - one that embraces mystery, questions, and hope.
Whether you are devoted, doubtful, or somewhere in between, this book welcomes you into a richer understanding of Jesus as the Alt King - one rooted not in dominion but in love, humility, and the liberating way of Christ.
Written in a devotional format, The Alt King is Born divides the Christmas story, and other relevant texts commonly read during Advent, into 28 readings with thought-provoking commentary to inspire conversation in books clubs and among friends.
Paperback, 118 pages.

Faithful Resistance
I believe the Bible is a beautiful, yet complicated, collection of writings that were meant to provoke discussion, not end it.
My mission is to help people resist simple answers that narrow our thinking around spiritual matters, and the Bible, in particular.
In everything do to others as you would have them do to you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
- Jesus, Matthew 7:12 (NRSVUE)
God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them. Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness on the day of judgment, because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love.We love because he first loved us. Those who say, “I love God,” and hate a brother or sister are liars, for those who do not love a brother or sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.The commandment we have from him is this: those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also.
- 1 John 4:16-21 (NRSVUE)
