Dennis Prager Books

Founder of the incredibly influential PragerU website, Dennis Prager actively fights to spread the truth about Conservative values and debunk arguments from the Left.

PragerU has grown into a massive force, particularly on college campuses. Much like how Rush Limbaugh grasped the power of talk radio, Dennis Prager has realized the power of digital and social media to meet young people where they are. And the results are astounding with billions of views.

Dennis Prager also takes a unique approach. While those on the right like Andrew Breitbart or Steve Bannon utilize an aggressive and confrontational approach, Prager has adopted a calm and polite way of explaining Conservative viewpoints that are more approachable to those on the fence. PragerU videos are, as a result, logical and even pleasant.

PragerU’s focus is on social conservative topics following their own content plan rather than getting caught up in the news cycle of the day. This allows them a level of separation from the politicization of topics and conveys a more balanced approach.

A vocal opponent of President Donal Trump, Prager indicated prior to the 2016 election that Trump would be his least-favorable Republican. When Trump did win the Republican nomination, however, Denis Prager indicated he would vote for him as a lesser of two evils, not just to Hillary Clinton but to the Democratic party in general. In fact, Prager is a strong opponent to the Democrats, not just in principle but also due to what he describes an an underlying antisemitism in the party, which he has spoken about publicly since as early as 1996.

Dennis Prager’s message is a clear reflection of his Jewish faith as can be seen in his many books, which focus on the primary Judeo-Christian values as the building blocks of modern western civilization, in particular, the Constitution of the United States of America. Two of the best examples of this are “The Ten Commandments: Still the Best Moral Code” and “Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph.”

More recently Prager has released two books abut the Bible, specifically relating to Genesis and Exodus. While deeply philosophical, Prager showcases the Bible’s relevance to the issues and events of today and gives rational reasons to believe in God.
