The book was\u2064 created by Sorbo to combat the erosion of chivalry and manhood.<\/p>\n<p>When a social media user \u200bnamed &#8220;Joe My God,&#8221; who identifies as a &#8220;Soros-paid deep state operative,&#8221; accused Sorbo of promoting an &#8220;anti-LGBTQ children&#8217;s book,&#8221; Sorbo \u2064took\u2062 to X, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platform<\/a> formerly known as Twitter, to vehemently deny\u2063 the allegation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Once again, we see the Left resorting to any means necessary\u2062 to generate online engagement while attacking Christian conservatives,&#8221; Sorbo wrote.\u2064 &#8220;This\u2064 individual has absolutely no understanding of what they&#8217;re talking about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The accusatory post has\u200c since been deleted.<\/p>\n<p>Sorbo, best known for his lead role in Hercules, explained that his book aims\u200b to \u200binspire boys to be courageous and brave in\u200c the face of adversity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>The Test of Lionhood<\/em> is about a humble lion cub discovering the essence of manhood, or rather lionhood,&#8221; Sorbo\u200c told the Washington Examiner. &#8220;It&#8217;s about embracing masculinity, and that is an objective truth for men.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He continued, &#8220;The \u200cLeft wants to twist everything and make it about themselves.\u200d Just \u200dbecause I \u2064uphold Christian and conservative principles, they label me as anti-trans. It&#8217;s absurd, especially since Hollywood has blacklisted me. My book isn&#8217;t\u2064 against anyone; it&#8217;s pro-masculinity, pro-bravery, and pro-child!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sorbo previously expressed his frustration with a &#8220;woke&#8221; society \u200cthat \u2063undermines the modern-day \u200dman, both in entertainment and \u2063everyday\u2062 life.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our \u2064movies and TV shows are saturated with sex, violence, and the glorification of evil and antiheroes. It&#8217;s bizarre to me,&#8221; Sorbo remarked. &#8220;We&#8217;re raising a generation of men who are constantly seeking reasons to complain and point fingers instead of taking responsibility \u2062for their own failures.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added, &#8220;We need men to step up\u2063 and realize that \u2062God never promised an easy life. We must find ways to overcome hardships because they will always be present. It&#8217;s\u2063 about facing challenges head-on and taking accountability for \u2063ourselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from the Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<p><em>The \u200bTest of Lionhood<\/em> is part \u2063of Brave Books&#8217; Freedom Island Book \u2064Club, joining Kirk Cameron&#8217;s children&#8217;s books.

It has nothing\u2062 to do with promoting hate or discrimination.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sorbo&#8217;s response\u2063 comes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kevin-sorbo-rejects-anti-trans-accusations-my-book-isnt-anti-anything-its-pro-masculinity-pro-bravery-and-pro-child\/\" title=\"Kevin Sorbo denies being 'anti-trans', stating that his book promotes masculinity, bravery, and child advocacy.\">amidst growing controversy surrounding children&#8217;<\/a>s literature\u200c that deals with LGBTQ+ themes. \u200cWhile some argue that such books are essential for promoting inclusivity \u200band diversity, others believe that exposing children to such topics at a young age is inappropriate. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Test of Lionhood&#8221; does \u200cnot delve into LGBTQ+ issues, \u2063but rather focuses\u200c on \u200ctraditional \u2063values such as bravery and loyalty. Sorbo emphasizes the need to preserve the foundations of morality and virtue in today&#8217;s society, especially for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nevada-dem-senator-quietly-honors-drag-queen-for-working-with-children\/\" title=\"Nevada Dem Senator Quietly Honors Drag Queen for Working With Children\">young impressionable minds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, critics of the book have attempted to label it as anti-trans based on Sorbo&#8217;s political beliefs and support for conservative causes. They argue that by depicting traditional gender roles and emphasizing the importance of embracing one&#8217;s true nature, the book\u200d is inherently\u200d discriminatory. However, Sorbo contends that his intention is\u200d simply to encourage \u2063children to embrace\u200c their individual strengths\u2064 and overcome adversity. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My book is neither anti-trans nor anti-LGBTQ,&#8221; Sorbo asserted in an interview \u200dwith a \u200bprominent conservative news outlet. &#8220;It is a story about resilience and the power of familial love. You don&#8217;t have to \u200cagree with me politically to appreciate the message of hope and bravery that \u200cit\u200c conveys.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite the backlash, Sorbo remains steadfast in his belief that children&#8217;s literature\u200b should continue to promote traditional values. He argues that through stories like &#8220;The Test of Lionhood,&#8221; children\u2062 can learn\u200b valuable lessons about honor, integrity, and\u200d the importance of family.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am committed to providing young readers with stories that inspire and empower them,&#8221; \u200cSorbo stated. &#8220;In\u2064 a world that often seems devoid of morality, it is more\u200d important than ever to instill these timeless values in our youth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As the debate over children&#8217;s literature and its impact on young \u200dminds continues, Kevin \u200cSorbo\u2063 remains resolute in his defense of &#8220;The Test of Lionhood.&#8221; Despite claims of being anti-trans, Sorbo maintains that his book carries an uplifting and positive \u2064message\u200c that transcends \u2062political ideologies. Whether \u200cor not readers agree \u200dwith Sorbo&#8217;s worldview, his dedication\u200d to creating literature that fosters moral development and resilience in children is\u200b a cause worth considering.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actor Kevin Sorbo has dismissed claims that his new children&#8217;s book, The Test of Lionhood, is &#8220;anti-trans,&#8221; labeling them as uninformed attempts to gain attention.
