Cooper also told ChurchLeaders that some people found his address sent him satellite photos of his house, warning him, “I know where you live.”
These people also sent Cooper’s daughter, who is an adult, social media messages.
“It was just super over the top,” Cooper said, expressing his belief that such behavior is a demonic attack. “It was a spiritual warfare thing, because I’ve said a lot more volatile things that would rile people people up than just the name of this book.”
“It was a dark time,” Cooper added. “I wasn’t, like, worried, but it was real.” Cooper shared that he even discussed with his team whether he needed to increase security.
Nevertheless, there have also been many positive reactions and conversations that have come from the book. People have thanked Cooper for bringing attention to the issues he addresses in the book.
One person, Cooper recalls, told him that his book “saved him from the idolatrous version of Christian nationalism” and helped direct him toward the understanding that the Bible should be setting the standard for a Christian’s worldview. “I thought that was super encouraging and cool,” Cooper said.
