If you want a fight
on your hands, all you have to do is to say America is a Christian nation.
Certainly, the facts of history point to America’s unique Christian origin.
From the first settlers to North America through those who founded our
great republic, there was a unique role that the Bible played. As Newsweek
once affirmed, "Now historians are discovering that the Bible, perhaps
even more than the Constitution, is our founding document…" Every time
you see a twenty dollar bill, and you see the image of President Andrew
Jackson, you can remember that he said that the Bible is "the rock upon
which our republic rests."
A new book, hot off
the press, addresses this issue and more. Dr. D. James Kennedy and Jerry
Newcombe, authors of the best-selling What If Jesus Had Never Been Born?
and of What If The Bible Had Never Been Written? have now released
this latest book on America’s unique Christian heritage, on the issues
tearing us apart, and on how we can get back on track.
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."
WHAT SOME ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS NEW BOOK:
The late Bill Bright, founder and director of Campus Crusade for Christ,
"May God use James Kennedy and this great book to help mobilize citizens
of this country and particularly the body of Christ, God’s army in this
crucial, historic hour. Now is the time for action!"
Janet Parshall, nationally syndicated talk show host, said: "Dr. Kennedy reminds us of our indisputable beginnings as a Christian nation and how we can unapologetically reclaim our heritage. Read and remember who we are as a nation and who we can and must be again."
Charles W. Colson, chairman of Prison Fellowship Ministries, says, "Kennedy takes significant truths and communicates them in an understandable way. The chapter on Islam in this timely work could not be more appropriate in the current debate."
The Honourable Marilyn Musgrave, U.S. House of Representatives, points out: "Once again, Dr. Kennedy and Mr. Newcombe have written a book that has profoundly affected my life. The authors identify how America has left our godly heritage behind but offer blessed hope for our nation if we Christians do what God has called us to do."
What If America Were A Christian Nation Again? is available in bookstores everywhere. You can also order it on-line for an Internet discount.
