Be the People A Call to Reclaim America’s Faith and Promise By Carol Swain describes how our government, the media, and other influential groups and organizations are shaping the culture in America. The United States has come a long way from the Christian values that our founding fathers practiced and the media and other powerful organizations are leading us toward a secular society without any sense of absolute right and wrong. Carol Swain does a great job of explaining how the government and media are deceiving us and small steps that we can take to help America return to its Christian roots. As an African-American woman, Carol Swain offers a unique perspective on the moral issues of today such as race and abortion. Another interesting idea that Carol Swain brings up is the idea of a covenant that America’s founders established between God. So many of the nation’s founders believed in God and wanted a land where they could freely practice their religion. America needs to admit its failures and return to God if they hope to receive His blessings.
I really enjoyed reading this book. The author presented the material in a cohesive manner and clearly explains her positions without sounding extremely partisan. I am inspired to support the traditional values that this nation was founded upon and continue them by passing them on to future generations.I highly recommend it.
