As the United States of America approaches its 250th birthday, the world has changed in many unpredictable ways. Yet the U.S. Constitution still stands as a guidepost for how this country should be governed and what interests it should hold first and foremost. In this collection of essays of protest, the author lays a case for the Christian roots of the country being a necessity for the identity of America, leaving no room for atheism in the policies of the government. From foreign policy to the inclusion of prayer at government functions, a combination of biblical scripture and documents from the founding fathers lay the groundwork for an argument that the United States and Christianity are inextricably linked and that without faith-backed decision-making, America cannot live up to its full potential.
The well-cited, clear approach of this book will offer readers a concise, consistent vision for their consideration when looking for candidates to support going forward. Discourse here is handled maturely and with care, saving any ire for the people capable of abusing power to their own benefit. In the author’s introduction to the book, there is an emphasis that any protesting that would lead to change must be done in a peaceful fashion if it is to be a Christian protest, and that level-headedness sets the tone for this book’s message. Drawing inspiration from the past in those who laid their vision for this country out at its outset and with a mind toward the future as to how those ideals can be reclaimed, this book confidently draws the map for a way that this country can continue to thrive.
