Why Do We Kill Our Heroes

Why Do We Kill Our Heroes? confronts a painful truth: we admire greatness, but we punish humanity.

We elevate people to impossible standards, demand perfection from imperfect souls, and then turn against them when they falter. This book examines how our culture creates heroes only to destroy them-through unrealistic expectations, public judgment, and unforgiving scrutiny.

Blending history, theology, psychology, and moral reflection, the book challenges the myth of perfection and calls readers to rethink greatness-not as flawlessness, but as courage lived honestly. In a world quick to cancel and slow to forgive, Why Do We Kill Our Heroes? invites us to choose grace over condemnation.

Because the way we treat our heroes reveals who we are.
