"President Donald Trump has publicly promoted Charlie Kirk’s new book, “Stop, in the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life,” on his Truth Social media platform. This was far more than just a casual endorsement. When a sitting president publicly urges people to purchase a book, it goes beyond a personal recommendation and actually lends political support to the ideas contained in the book. By using his platform to promote Kirk’s book—which centers on the importance of having a weekly day of rest—Trump is effectively amplifying the Sabbath rest concept to a massive political and social audience of followers.
Because the book is centered on the necessity of keeping a weekly day of rest, Trump’s endorsement serves as an unmistakable affirmation of the principles of Sabbath-keeping. The title itself announces the theme—honoring the Sabbath—and the book repeatedly emphasizes that weekly rest and sacred time are essential for personal healing, family renewal, and national stability.
This elevates Sabbath observance from a religious practice to a matter of public health, in which America’s renewal requires a return to sacred time and weekly rest. In this way, public opinion is being conditioned to view Sabbath observance as essential to the nation’s well-being, paving the way for future debates about Sunday rest as a religiously based civic observance."
