"Ten thousand cadets and staff at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, open up their federally-funded newspaper and see an a solicitation signed by hundreds of Academy senior officials and their spouses unabashedly proclaiming, “We believe that the only real hope for mankind is Jesus Christ!” Cadets are bombarded with official command “encouragement” to see the movie The Passion of the Christ at local movie theatres, and stridently sectarian fliers are strategically placed at every cadet’s seat for three straight days in the Academy dining hall. The Air Force Deputy Chief of Chaplains tells a New York Times Reporter, in a front page story, that it is now official U.S, Air Force policy to “Reserve the right to evangelize the un-churched.” (W: April 26 M the Washington Post (July 16 2006)"
"A vitally important book at a critical time in our nation’s history, With God on our Side is the story of one man’s courageous struggle to thwart a tsunami of evangelism permeating America’s military and to prevent a taxpayer-funded theocracy in which only the true believers have powers."
-- From Background on the Book
"If you care about the growing power of the evangelicals in our national politics and their ability to shape our policy, then you need to read this book. It's not just about one or two isolated instances of religious discrimination; it's about the systemic abuse of power of some of the leadership in one of our most prestigious institutions, The United States Air Force Academy.
"The abuses described are, on one hand, almost unbelievable in this day and age but on the other, totally believable in this day and age. It also makes us aware of the necessity to keep the government from sanctioning, or even appearing to sanction, one religion over another or one religion over no religion. Read the book and do your part to keep our military members free from other people's religion(s). No one should be allowed to take advantage of the captive audience that is cadets at service academies or Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines serving honorably anywhere."

“With God on Our Side is the story of one man’s willingness to stand up for the Constitution of the United States. Arrayed against Mikey Weinstein are those who would transform the United States military, our most revered institution, into a force of evangelical crusaders, intolerant of the diversity of our society and willfully subversive of our national security interests. It is an important call to arms for all who love our country and the principles for which it stands.”
-— Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, author of The Politics of Truth
“U.S. Air Force Academy graduate Mikey Weinstein’s struggle to keep his beloved school—and the U.S. military—a secular institution has meaning for all of us. Wherever you are on America’s religious and political spectrums, you’ll find With God on Our Side a challenging and provocative read.”
-— Ray Suarez, author of The Holy Vote: The Politics of Faith in America, and senior correspondent, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer
“No one I know is more willing than Mikey Weinstein to take on such a tough, unpopular issue that goes to the very heart of one of our nation’s most important and long cherished principles. Read this book to understand why we should all share Mikey’s concern.”
-— Robert T. Herres, General, USAF (Retired), former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
