This was not my usual read… but I met the author in Phoenix and have heard him speak in Tampa. I had to give at least one of his books a try.

This is an interesting concept that I never thought of before. I’ve always felt like silence of the Christian voice is why we see the issues amounting now. This book enlightens history and current events to the same issues. If you say nothing evil will flourish.

I did do some facts checking and ALL checked out with accuracy! Very good read, it was a hard one for me because I have always been skeptical of people with history and quotes.

The author goes back to the beginning of America to show how our founding fathers included God in every aspect of their lives. They expected God to be in every part of our government. He quotes many of the early leaders of this country. The author takes the reader from this country’s beginning to where we are now. God is no longer honored, the family is disintegrating, children are not being protected. We should be speaking out and standing up, but we are not. We are silent.
It’s a book everyone should read who loves God, is concerned about children, about families, about our republic. I’m glad I read it, and I highly recommend this factual, informative book. After reading this, please share with the young people in your lives the truth found here.

This book goes through some history of the church, which shows how we got to the place we are in today. The author makes his case for the reasons he believes Christians should be involved in politics. He then presents his scriptural basis for why Christians should speak out against evil and not be silent, ending with encouragement to step out in faith and do whatever God calls us to do. The history was interesting and I learned a lot that I didn't know. The editing could have been better. The overarching message is a timely one and the book is worth reading. As a side note, I have heard the author speak in person, and he is a phenomenal speaker.

Chocked full of information and quotes to establish the writer’s thesis but seems to be a patchwork in flow. Would love to see it edited into a more coherent argument because I agree with his point.
