One of George Barna and David Barton most practical book using the statistical evidence of where America is today. Like evangelical tradition they bring out much evidence that righteous laws brings blessing. Unlike the evangelical tradition they point out that it is not for the church to judge or excert coercion for the world to change. Repentance in America will begin with each follower of Christ taking responsibility for our own life.

Common sense book about America's spiritual decline. There are a lot of statistics and facts to back up the premise, but most interesting was the call to action that Christians must take if they are to "retake" America.
The reality of activism and getting out to vote for candidates that believe the same way you do is a pretty simple idea, but the reality of actually getting people to do that is difficult.
