What If America Were a Christian Nation Again?

by D. James Kennedy, Jerry Newcombe

Overview

Some people would gnash their teeth at the idea that America was – and can be again – a Christian nation. They will not be satisfied until they have removed every vestige of our Christian heritage from our minds and from our surroundings.

Yet in this book, D. James Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe document the incontrovertible fact that America began as a Christian nation. And "we can get back on track before it's too late," they say. "What made us great in the first place is our rich Christian heritage. It's time to reclaim America!"

Preface

In this sweeping analysis of America from its inception to the present day - and into the future - Dr. D. James Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe challenge many of today's beliefs, which have strayed from those of our founding fathers and are impacting each American's life in hidden, insidious ways.

Many of these fallacious beliefs, Kennedy and Newcombe say, are tearing us apart as a country. "If we are ever to experience a new birth of freedom, we need to get a handle on these key issues and apply the mind of Christ to them"

Some might say that much of what is in this book is politically incorrect - but others would testify that it must be said. Listen and decide for yourself.
