The story of the evangelical elite’s efforts to promote Christian ideals in U.S. domestic and international affairs.

Following his bestselling 2008 exposé The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power, Harper’s and Rolling Stone contributing editor Sharlet provides an unsettling account of the present-day inner workings of this secretive underground of Christian activists in government—variously known as the Family and the Fellowship—and its flagship C Street townhouse in Washington, D.C., which offers lodging, meals and prayer meetings for conservative Christian members of Congress.

Sometimes called the “Christian mafia,” the Family sponsors the National Prayer Breakfast, an annual Washington event that has been attended by every sitting U.S. president since Dwight D. Eisenhower.
