    "description": "Inspiration for the Netflix Documentary Series\n\n\u201cOf all the important studies of the American right, The Family is undoubtedly the most eloquent. It is also quite possibly the most terrifying.\u201d  \u2014 Thomas Frank, New York Times bestselling author of What's the Matter with Kansas?\n\nThey insist they're just a group of friends, yet they funnel millions of dollars through tax-free corporations. They claim to disdain politics, but congressmen of both parties describe them as the most influential religious organization in Washington. They say they're not Christians, but simply believers.\n\nBehind the scenes at every National Prayer Breakfast since 1953 has been the Family, an elite network dedicated to a religion of power for the powerful. Their goal is \"Jesus plus nothing.\" Their method is backroom diplomacy. The Family is the startling story of how their faith\u2014part free-market fundamentalism, part imperial ambition\u2014has come to be interwoven with the affairs of nations around the world.",
