What If America Were a Christian Nation Again?

By D. James Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe

Book Overview

America is in the throes of a cultural war-one that threatens us from within and without. So-called "progressive" individuals and organizations are falsely using the words of our founding fathers to achieve the antithesis of their design for our nation. The first Americans sought freedom of religion ; today we face freedom from religion . The framers of the constitution sought liberty ; modern interpretations promote licentiousness . The early settlers believed in absolute morality ; today's liberals advocate relative morality . What if America Were a Christian Nation Again? offers encouragement about God's providential hand on our nation-and hope that it's not too late to save. The authors provide a specific blueprint to preserve and restore our country to its original intent. In three sections (Where We Came From, Where We Are, Where Are We Going), they offer concrete examples from history, in-depth analysis of current conditions, and strategies for developing "a new birth of freedom."

Customer Reviews

Based on Facts

I enjoyed the book thoroughly. In spite of reviews to the contrary (obviously written by people with an axe to grind), history was reviewed thoroughly. Christians were a very major factor in this country becoming what it is. They were also the reason other religions are freely practiced here - more than any other country. If you wonder about that, go to Muslim countries and view how many Christian churches are allowed to operate. There is no doubt our Founders intended a freedom to practice religion, and that the vast majority of them practiced Christianity. Kennedy does not advocate an establishment of religion, merely a recognition of our heritage and the understanding that the country is better off with moral principles, particularly those found in the bible. If you haven't studied American history and wonder if Christianity had a part - read this book. An honest assesment of history, spoken through a Christian world view, is offered here.

The people who are giving this book a bad rating havent even read it...

This is a great book. I am 16 years old and I find this book simply true. Christians living in America need to wake up and speak up!We need to stop worrying about if we are going to hurt someones feelings or not by metioning the word "God" in public places(need I remind you we Christians also have the right of freedom of speech as well). We also as Christians need to say to the atheist who are taking down the ten commandments, crosses, and etc, hey that offends me. Whether people believe it or not ATHEISM IS A RELIGION, it is what someone personally believes in which is what any other relgion is, something you believe in.

Factual, logical and insightful book -- Highly recommended

Don't bother with those who have criticized this book. The reviews have obviously been written by malicious, non-Christians (perhaps even atheists) who only want to stir up trouble. This book, like so many others by D. James Kennedy, is filled with historic references, philosophical ponderings and solutions to the problems that have crippled America today. He does NOT advocate discrimination of any kind -- especially not intellectual discrimination. Too bad those who have given this book such poor reviews can't say the same. Read it and decide for yourself.

Excellent Book I Hope Many Read

This is a great book. Dr Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe have done a wonderful job. I hope that their message touches many and that America will get back on track to her Christian roots. Infused with many great facts about our founding fathers as well as our country of which I was not aware(being I was the product of public education). Thanks for a wonderful and spirit moving book Dr Kennedy!!
